Follow these general steps to join a device to your home wireless network. These general steps may help you narrow down the issue before contacting the service provider.

Before you start: Keep your equipment model and any error message handy. Never share your password, one-time verification code, or full payment details with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.

Steps to try

  1. Open Wi-Fi or Network settings on the device you want to connect.
  2. Select your home network name. Check the router label or your saved network settings if you are unsure which one is yours.
  3. Enter the Wi-Fi password exactly, paying attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
  4. If the device cannot connect, forget the saved network and reconnect, then restart the device if needed.
  5. If no devices can connect, restart the router and check for a service interruption.
Good to know: Only connect to a network you own or have permission to use.
