[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Authentication error on wireless router

Posted: 8/6/2014 4:52:13 PM EDT

Today all our devices started getting kicked off our router due to authentication error. I put the password in and it says saved and secured but won't connect.

Any ideas why? Iphone, galaxy s4, and bluray player.

If that doesn't work then look up how to factory reset the router then reconfigure it.

Usually a tiny sunk button that you will have to push with a needle under power for 5 sec...

Power cycle worked. This is happening relatively frequently now, as in one a week.

Try updating your firmware. Some routers have remote exploits which someone could be using to turn it into an open proxy.

Is it a managed router? lol don't factory reset it if it is.
