5 Ghz wifi won't take password
The 2.4 Ghz has a the same password on it as the 5 Ghz but 5 says wrong password when you try to connect, 2.4 connects with no problem....m Can someone help please?
Welcome to the community and thanks for posting. Sorry to hear this has happened. This issue isn't common but can be fixed by manually changing the 5GHz password. In order to change the 5GHz password, open any browser you would like on a computer or device connected to your HughesNet modem via ethernet cable or on the 2GHz network for this situation. In the address bar at the top of the page, type in 192.168.0.1 or systemcontrolcenter.com. This will populate the control center for your modem. On the left side of the screen, click on WiFi settings and you will be prompted to type in your administrative password. Please type in "admin" not including the quotations. In the middle of your screen, you will now see a box that houses the settings for your WiFi networks. Please click on the tab for 5GHz and you should be able to change the password. To complete this process, click the save settings tab. I would write or type this password somewhere to make sure. Let me know if this helps. -Damian
