Initially worked fine, but now will recognize the router (SWEEX) but will not accept the router password.

The only thing that has changed is that I have got rid of my laptop and bought a desk top, but cannot see that that would make any difference.

any ideas?

To save me a little typing on how to double check and if needed reset the wireless password have you tried simply unplugging the power from the router for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in?

I had this then realised it doesn't want the password it wants the wireless key.......

[Sqad]

Chuck...yes......I have unplugged the router for 10 mins and it is still not accepting my password.

crafty.........it accepted the router password before.........wireless key.......do you mean that long list of numbers and letters underneath the router?...if so. then have tried that...still won't let me in.

[craft1948]

Yes I thought the password was the all letters one which didn''t work so I put in the wireless key which is a 10 digit alpha numeric code which it accepted.

[ChuckFickens]

Can you post the model number of it please, Sqad.

[craft1948]

Sorry I don't know what's on the router...........to set my wifi up I was sent a credit card type of thingy showing my wireless name, wireless key, and admin password.

Ta.... this is (obvously) going to be in English, if your router is in Spanish I'm afraid you'll have to translate :)

First click the link below

http://192.168.251.1

this should brong up the login prompt for your router, enter the username "sweex" and the password "mysweex" (these are the same regardless of the router language) and press enter...

Once the routers admin pages have loaded click on the link that says advanced and then on wireless and now click firstly on "access control" and if you see anything that says something along the lines of mac address filtering disable it and try again, if there is nothing that looks like mac address filtering move on to next paragraph :)

If it's still not working, now click on the security link at the top and make sure that it is set as the following...

Encryption - WPA2 mixed
authentication type - Auto
skip to WPA authentication type and select Personal (pre shared key)
pre shared key format - set to passphrase
Now type a password for your network into the box below marked pre shared key (this can be anything you want, it will become the password you need to connect any wireless device..)

Now you can click on submit and try connecting the kindle with the passphrase you've just entered.

**note... if you have any other wireless devices you'll need to reconnect them with the new passphrase you've just setup**

Manual for this router is available here .

Bl--dy hell chuck, how do you learn all that stuff!!!

[Sqad]

Chuck....followed it word by word.....perfect.

Thanks a million.....it works.

of course, i could have done it without your help ;-)

[ChuckFickens]

Cool, glad it's sorted.

As I said, the only thing that my be an issue now is any existing devices you have connected will require the wireless profile deleted on them and then reconnected with the new passphrase you've set.
