Your WiFi network is hidden and does not display in your WiFi client's scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.) To connect with WiFi, you must type the network SSID and password. For information about how to enable the SSID broadcast, see Specify Basic WiFi Settings on page 79. • You can find the WiFi network, but you can't connect. Check the following: - Make sure that your computer or WiFi device supports the security that you are using for your WiFI network (WPA or WPA2), - Make sure that you are using the correct WiFi password. The preset WiFi password is on the modem router label. If you changed it and do not remember the new password, you can use a wired Ethernet connection to log in to the modem router and view or change the WiFi password.
