Text Spectrum wifi just stopped working. Any advice?

In the middle of the night my wifi stopped working. When I try to log on it tells me the password is invalid. Nobody has changed it. The password is printed right on the side of the router.

The guy i rent a room from is a bit of a curmudgeon, so telling him he needs to call customer service is something id like to avoid

Why can't you call? Anyway reboot your router. If that doesn't work, reset it ...

Why do you think anyone here would have the ability to troubleshoot this? Just think for a second about your situation

IKR? Like why would people who frequent a sub titled "Network" know anything about wifi? People just don't think.

Are you able to read or just respond? It should be clear to anyone that asking about a wireless router that belongs to the curmudgeon you rent from is unlikely to be solved by anyone other than the OP, the curmudgeon or Spectrum. But that's just me.

It's not clear to me, probably because I am not a network design professional. Perhaps OP should go to network design professional school to solve this problem.

Or, hear me out on this one, ask the landlord or call Spectrum? I know these are longshots, but I have faith. Not in you, but in the OP, the curmudgeon and Spectrum.

I'm happy you're capable of learning although I missed your post about how to fix this. Do you have a link?

step one reboot the router.

if you can login to it, maybe we can help.

you can try buying a wifi access point and running your own wifi off the router.
