Title: Tech help needed
Post by: frankie on 27 Dec, 2021, 10:38:12 am

I bought a new phone last wednesday which was set up for me in the shop and they transferred my sim card to the new one.   I've already been back there once as I could not access WhatsApp.  They did that for me but I am unable to send anything as I cannot access my Wi-Fi.  I don't really want to go back to shop, so can anyone tell me how? 
Words of less than one syllable would be great! :embarrassed:

Check in settings, WiFi is switched on and you may need to connect and possibly put your router password in.  Does this help?

Sort of...  I have many numbers on my router and do not know which one to put in, or of I ned all of them?  I have tried them, plus the Password but it's not happening.  I have tried taking a photo of it but I'm unable to take photos...
I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!!!!

Ask who supplied your router what your password is.

If you look on the bottom of your router and there is something described as a WLAN KEY - that is your router password  :thumbsup:

Write that password down and stick it on top of your router.  :laugh:

All I need to do now is work out how to delete the masses of photos I took of my leg while I was working out how to send the ones I'd taken that I wanted to send. 
All this excitement, I should sleep well tonight :cheesy:
