When I couldn't access my friend's encrypted network with his 10 digit network key, he decided to unplug the router. We assumed that that would make the network accessible to anyone. At that point, the name of the network switch from his old network's name (e.g."Bob's") back to "Netgear".
Unfortunately, although I can see the network, I can't acess it. My computer can still log onto other wireless networks, so it's not the computer. Do I need to reinstall the router driver on my computer? And if so, do I need to clear out his settings (including email login) and put mine in?
I've also tried unplugging the modem, router and re-plugging them in in that order. Any help is appreciated. I am housesitting and I've got to have wireless access for work. Thanks!
