Wi-Fi network key change causing problem
I just bought a Blu Ray player with WiFi installed. I couldn't get it to work with my cable installation and so I changed the network key (password?). Unfortunately since doing that I cannot use the WiFi on my smartphone or my wireless printer and I am sure the password is the issue. Can somebody tell me how to resolve these problems? I looked at my iphone 3GS settings and couldn't find any place to change my password and my printer seems to be having the same problem. My WiFi is connected to a router supplied by Comcast. I imagine my laptop will now no longer connect to the WiFi! Help!!!!!!! Steve

That was the problem; didn't remember the original network key. How do I change the network key on the devices? If I could do that I'd probably regain use of them.

For the iPhone:

You didn't specify the makes, models, and operating system or software being used on the other devices, so providing specific information would be difficult.

If you can't remember the original password, see if you can reset the router to the default settings. Then you'll have to redo all the security settings.
Without more hardware details, that's about all I can say.

I changed my password (network key) with the help of Comcast. I was able to connect my laptop by changing the password to the correct one easily enough. My smartphone is the only thing I need to change now. My problem was I didn't remember the original network key. Does that help?

Then you need to enter the password on your phone and printer.
You should be able to change it from Settings-WiFi

As for your printer, if you can't enter the Wifi password directly, run the setup software again.
