Change Your Laptop Wireless Password           

If you have recently changed your Algonquin Network password you may find that your laptop connection no longer works. This is because it is still using the old saved password to connect the laptop to wireless. The laptop wireless password must be updated to match the new Algonquin network password.

The idea in each case is to be prompted for the new password even though it has stored the old one. Scroll down to your operating system.
(Note: These instructions are based on using the AlgSecureWLAN wireless network.)

Mac OS

For the MAC you may be prompted for the password or you can simply follow these instructions.

If the saved password on you laptop does not work you will see a bubble near the clock which you click on for the logon box. You may need to reboot if the bubble does not appear.

For Windows 7 you will go to the screen which stores your logon information.

Step 1. - Click the "Start" button and type in the search space - "manage wireless".

Step 2. - Choose "Manage Wireless Networks" from the list above.

Step 3. - Double click the "AlgSecureWLAN" connection

Step 4. - Click the security tab

Step 5. - click the "Advanced settings" button to open that window

Step 6. - click the "Save credentials" button and enter your username and password.

Step 7. - Click "OK" on each dialog box or close it until they are all gone.

You should see the wireless icon beside the clock trying to connect again with the new password which will be saved.
