Make sure that the Wi-Fi feature on your device is activated
Your device may have a software and / or physical Wi-Fi switch.
The location of the software switch may vary from one device to another. Here are two examples:Computer: Network and internet settings → Wi-Fi
Smartphone: Settings → Connections → Wi-Fi
Placement of the hardware switch can vary from one device to another. Here are two examples:
- An on/off button on the front or side of your laptop
- A combination of keys, for example: Function and F2

The default username and corresponding password for your Wi-Fi network are written on a sticker on the back of your Wi-Fi modem (Default Wi-Fi network and Default key).

Here are the differences between these two frequency bands:5GHz frequency band:
-

2.4GHz frequency band:

Not able to recover your Wi-Fi password?
Restore your Wi-Fi modem to its factory settings
IMPORTANT: This will reset any changes that have been made to your Wi-Fi modem settings to date. You may also need to reconfigure your devices’ Wi-Fi settings (network name, password, etc.).
Using a small, sharp object, press the modem’s reset button for 10 seconds.
Once your modem has restarted, follow the same instructions you used when you initially installed it.
Reminder: The default username (Default Wi-Fi network) and password (Default key) for your Wi-Fi network are written on a sticker on the back of your Wi-Fi modem.
