You can find the WiFi network, but you can’t connect. Check the following:
- Make sure that your computer or device supports the security that you are using
for your WiFi network (WPA or WPA2).
- You are not sure what the WiFi password is.
The preset WiFi password is on the cable 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 cable modem router and view or change the WiFi password..
- The WiFi signal strength is weak in your location.
Is your cable modem router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your
computer near the cable modem router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away,
and see if the signal strength improves.
Check for sources of WiFi interference that might block the signal.
