I changed my password to this router and was successful. Today, I made a small change to the router; I renamed the gateway name and the router reset after saving changes. I assumed everything was good for a while until I logged in a week later and could not authenticate. I was frustrated and could not understand what was happening. Then I stopped and pressed the Enter key without entering a password.....not good. I then changed the password again and everything was fine.
