    Nokia Lumia 920

    Nokia Lumia 928 connects to Open hotel Wi-Fi; won't connect to home Wi-Fi router even though I can see the network name. Message = "Connection Unsuccessful. Phone couldn't reach Wi-FI network" (phone was near router- also tried further away). My PC, printer
    & Driod phone all connect to home Wi-Fi router no problem. Security = WEP 128, with a 26 hex password.
    Cellular Provider = Verizon. Home = TW Cable; LinkSys wireless modem.
    Thanks,
    MTVenti

    Why this Wi-Fi Calling ER04 DNS Error on my smartphone at home and sometimes out in public?

    All 4 of us in my family keep losing the Wi-Fi signal completely even if we're standin just 3' away from the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router AC-1750 that isn't that old. I've had to turn it off by unplugging it for a minute several times the past few days. I'd
    like to access is to upgrade the firmware as I've read people say that is what fixed it for them but this stupid router won't even let me into it to do that. It blocks me endless with something called a 'router password' and I've tried virtually EVERY password
    that I've ever used for anything.

    So then below that, it offers a user to Login Using Smart but that thing rejects me since it says that an account already exists for my common email address that I use for stuff like this.

    I CREATED AN ACCOUNT - L: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *-*-jad using this link
    http://192.168.1.1/ui/1.0.99.166281/dynamic/create-account.html
    and when logging in, next it asks for ‘ASSOCIATE (their grammar not mine) ROUTER’ password but leaving it blank or using admin or any of our common ones don’t work. I still can’t login to it after setting that up since I don’t know my Router’s
    password and nothing works. To access your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account later, go to:
    http://linksyssmartwifi.com
    and then scroll down below the boxes and click

    TO LOGIN WITH YOUR LINKSYS SMART WI-FI ACCOUNT, CLICK HERE.

    I guess I've gotten to the point where the only way for me to upgrade the firmware to try to make this router stop dropping the signal to our 4 smartphones is for me to hit the RESET button on the router and start all over? This is aggravating as heck.

    Security Advisory for Linksys Smart Wi-Fi series of routers

    *Eek Oh no*Shock I've made the list. I have the EA2700. I always run the router the same as the 3 solutions, so it's up to them to get busy writing updates.
    Thanks much for the heads up Brink. I will post back if and when there is any progress on patching this.

    I've made the list as well. Hopefully, the firmware updates will be released soon.

    Thanks @Brink, just checked them yesterday. No update for my EA2700. I guess they're not going to update it. It's from 2014. A shame because it works just great.*cry
