I Need Wifi Password

[Vennie Fireman]

Wehave had issues with our internet over the last two weeks and had the internet people here all day last week. Finally have internet again but our ruckus wifi has gone away and now we just see recover.me and some numbers for our different connections. When I tried to connect onto the wifi it says I need a password. I have put in our password we created but its saying incorrect. I have tried to reset the box and this still continues to happen. Any ideas?

As you have reconnected your Internet connection from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) after losing the connection for a while, APs will broadcast the "Recover.me SSID", when that loose reachability to the default gateway.

@imran_ruckus It now isn't even allowing me to try to connect to the wifis because I have failed password so many times. There has to be someone who can help me fix this instead of having to post and wait for a reply.

1. On your switch while it's plugged into the outlet, do you see any lights on? (Amber or green) Please let us know which lights are on. (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same, showing the light status with switch port panel)

2. May I know how many Access Points are connected to the Switch? Could you please let me know the light status on the Access Points? Any of these lights are on (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same)

Since you seem to be using a hub to connect the cameras, all you should have had to do is to unplug the hub's power and Ethernet cable from the old router and then connect the cable to the new one and power the hub back up. The hub connects to the Internet via the cable and router so no password is needed. Cameras connected to the hub also don't require a password since they're not using your WiFi. The doorbell, however, may ask you to connect to WiFi first which requires that you allow the phone to connect to the doorbell's temporary WiFi which is used to pass the SSID and passwords to the doorbell so it can connect. Once that's done, the process should allow you to connect to the hub.

Thanks for the reply. I disconnected the router (I even bought a new one as well) but keeps asking for an Arlo wifi password in the App when I start the connect a device process. It asks for the wifi password when you are asked to connect the base station wifi (whilst in app on iPhone). Do I need to delete app and start again? I have factory reset the base station to no avail.

You shouldn't be needing to do anything other than to connect the base to the router with the Ethernet cable. That's how the base gets Internet access, through the cable. You may just be trying too hard.

If you really reset the base by holding the button until the LED(s) flashed amber, you must also remove all devices from your account before you can add them again, as if new. Once the base has rebooted to green power and Internet LEDs, with the Camera one being either off or solid amber, use the app to claim the base by just following the directions. AT no point does it ask for a password since the base is connected via Ethernet.

I deleted all the devices off the account and factory reset the base station. I have deleted everything off the app and when I try and reinstall it on the app when it asks me to connect to the Arlo wifi is still asks me for a password.

This printer worked fine until it became necessary to change the password in my wifi router. I did NOT make any other changes, only the password. I changed both the passwords in my laptops and they were recognized by the router. I need simple instructions on how to change the wifi password in my printer so it can connect to my wifi router.

I think in my efforts I have screwed the pooch making the resolution to this more difficult. In a last ditch effort, after spending more than 18 hours on this problem, I decided to do something drastic. I could see the printer in the Control Panel under Printers and Scanners on my laptop but it was offline. I thought I could delete the printer and add it back in as a new printer. I tried that and that didn't work and now I can't see the 2545 anymore. Sigh, around and around it goes. And when I tried adding the printer nothing came up, not even options to choose from. I guess that makes sense, since I can't get the printer connected to the wifi network and don't have any other printers.

I did download and run the software from HP, DJ2540_188.exe. That was supposed to step you through the setup process but no matter what options I choose, it just goes in a continuous loop. If I choose wireless setup, it says to temporarily connect a cable directly from the laptop to the printer which I do. Then the only option it gives me is to check the box saying the printer is already connected to the network. That is what I'm trying to do, connect the printer to the network, so the only thing I can do is go back and select wireless setup again and there is the loop.

I am replying to my own question because after about two more hours of struggling, I finally got it to work and it was much simpler than I expected. I'm not all that techie and changing anything in the registry file stresses me out, even when I do a backup of it before I change it. I even back it up when I just go in and look at it because there's no Undo button if I do something accidentally. I wrote this documentation up and saved it on my laptop for next time.

I had real problems and solved them by resetting the printer settings to factory default. This is for my printer that does NOT have a display screen. You reset the settings by holding down the Wireless button and the Cancel (big X) button at the same time. Hold them down to at least 5 (five) seconds.

After you execute the program below, the computer screen will say to connect a cable from the printer to the computer. Do NOT connect this cable until the computer tells you to. The cable has a USB connector on one end and a funny hump shaped connector on the other end. Have the cable handy, you may or may not need it. When I first set up my printer right out of the box, I needed the cable. This time I did not.

Starting about a month ago, all of my Apple devices (2019 MacBook Pro with macOS 10.15.7, iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 16.4.1, and iPad Pro 2 with iPadOS 15.7.1) forget all wifi passwords. Each time, this happens to all of the devices simultaneously and I have to re-save the passwords on all of the devices again. The devices think they remember the networks, but either forget the password or the passwords are corrupted.

I cannot figure out what is going on or what is causing it. It seems like it might be linked somehow to iCloud or my Apple ID since it happens on all of my devices repeatedly and at the same time. I've found a lot of advice only, but none of it has helped so far.

Also experiencing this issue, which started within the last few weeks. All internet providers, wifi routers etc are the same as they were before the issues started occurring, but all my apple devices (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone & MacMini) seem to forget the passwords on a fairly regular basis which never used to happen - is it a bug related to an update perhaps?

same thing happening to me-- iphone on ios 16.5 as of today. problem started with ios 16.4. two offices, home and other known networks (so we are talking several different routers, ISPs and networks)-- the iphone periodically forgets the network passwords. after the iphone forgets it, my icloud signed macs follow (a macbook, a macbook pro, two mac minis and two imacs). i reenter them and about a week later they forget the passwords again. but the iphone, under wifi settings, shows the networks as "my networks", still recognizes them, but forgets their passwords and asks me to reenter. once that happens, the macs forget them too. this is not a router, network or device problem. all of my apple devices under the same icloud account do this since ios 16.4. apple said they addressed forgotten wifi password issues with a patch to ios 16.4 but apparently not. this is obviously a keychain and icloud problem that needs to be addressed by apple. there are numerous other users complaining about the same thing. any thoughts?

I'm having exactly the same issue. I haven't changed any settings, and suddenly my Mac, iPad and iPhone all keep forgetting wifi passwords. The suggestions unfortunately don't work. It's not a WiFi connection issue. I'd guess it's more to do with passwords stored and shared in the keychain???

Thank you ManJor for your reply, but as the other responses have mentioned I don't think that addresses the issue. I have been trying those kinds of solutions for weeks and none have worked. It happened to me again a couple of days ago. It seems to more likely be an issue with Keychain passwords being shared over iCloud.

It happens simultaneously on all devices connected to my account for all wifi networks regardless of where the devices are. When they forget, they forget every password for every wifi network at the same time. It seems like all of the stored passwords on a device are somehow being corrupted and then that is synced to all of the other devices.
