Can't get internet on a wired connection after you change the PW on the Wifi for the router?
Have you reconnected to the SSID and input the new Password?

No, you can connect to the routers web page and log in to make any changes to the router as well.
Can you connect to the router using a wired connection with a PC?

Need to log into the routers web page and set up the WiFi password and SSID name under Setup/Wireless/Manual. Use WPA or WPA2 and Auto TPIK and AES. Then enter in a Password for the wiireless security. Save the settings.

Then go to Tools/Admin and enter in a Password for the Admin log in. Make the Password different from the wireless password. Save settings and you should be safe.
