When you want to open your internet to other devices, you have to turn this feature off and on a few times for other devices to see the network name.

If you are having problems with WiFi, we recommend you watch the steps below and the video in our content.

2. Connect to WiFi Network or Forget Network:

   • Try connecting to another network. If no other network is available, use your phone's hotspot feature.
   • Use the Forget network option. next to the network name you want to connect to! Tap the icon and forget network.
3. Auto-Join and Check Password:

6. Enforce Network Restrictions and Parental Controls:
   • Parental management or network restrictions need to be examined. Consider whether you have made any access restrictions on the device. At the same time, installed software may be preventing this.
7. Wrong WiFi Password Attempt:
   • Make sure you entered the correct password. We used to provide one-on-one support service and many users would say that they knew the wireless password correctly. However, there is a possibility that this forgotten password has been changed or reset. Enter the modem interface and check the password again.
