H @kendra69 . You can use a phrase for the wifi password rather than just 8 numbers.
Or try this:
8. 3. Access Control
Access Control is used to block or allow specific client devices to access your network (via wired or wireless) based on a list of blocked devices (Blacklist) or a list of allowed devices (Whitelist).
1. Log in to the web management of the router (192.168.1.1).
2. Go to Advanced > Security > Access Control and enable Access Control.
3. Select the access mode to either block (recommended) or allow the device(s) in the list.
To block specific device(s)
1 ) Select Blacklist and click Save.
2 ) Select the device(s) to be blocked in the Online Devices table.
3 ) Click Block above the Online Devices table. The selected devices will be added to Devices in Blacklist automatically.
To allow specific device(s)
1 ) Select Whitelist and click Save.
2 ) Click Add.
3 ) Enter the Device Name and MAC Address (You can copy and paste the information from Devices Online table if the device is connected to your network).
4 ) Click Save.
You are wanting to whitelist all your devices, wired and wifi.
If anything goes wrong, a factory reset will clear ALL settings. You may need to re-enter the internet settings again.
