When I put the password for my network, It tells me incorrect password

I am entering the password for my wifi settings.

So, you can't connect to your WI-FI because of an invalid password, right?

Customer Replay

Yes but the password is valid for my wifi network.

Are you sure it's valid?

great!

  1. Choose a location for your primary Wifi point.
    You can use any Google Wifi point as a primary Wifi point.
    Your primary Wifi point needs to be connected to a working modem that's connected to the Internet.
    For the strongest signal, place your primary Wifi point at eye level, in plain views, like on a shelf or TV stand.
  2. Connect the Ethernet cable to your Google Wifi point's WAN port. Then, connect the other end of the cable to your modem.
  3. Plug your primary Wifi point into a wall outlet.


Let me know if it's done!

Customer Replay
