Maybe there are old wireless profiles on your PCs. So when you set a wireless password on the modem, you had better also change the wireless network name(also called SSID).
After that, you can make all PCs connect to the new network by your wireless password.

same problem

2013-08-20 02:37:03

Hello,

I've the same problem, I'm trying from last 2 days to connect my iphone and my MBP wirelessly using TD-W8961ND.

After I read your post I tried below two things

- If Authentication Type WPA2/PSK is selected, then I cannot connect wirelessly. If MBP is connected via cable then they can connect.
- If Authentication Type Disabled/WEP is selected, then CAN connect both wireless.

Can TP-Link people confirm whats going on?

If you rename the SSID and change the Authentication type to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, can your device connect wirelessly? If still can not, you can change the channel on the wireless page of the modem for a try.

If still cannot, what are the hardware version and firmware version of the modem?
