Just got mine today. It does find another WiFi of a neighbor and finds mine but does not log on with my password. I have set the MAC address filter to allow my K3 but no joy. No trouble adding my laptop last month. What the @#$! I rebooted the K3 and rebooted the router.

********************

Disregard! My LinkSys router password is shown in the online window in Arial font (no serifs). I knew from the shape of the "0" that it was a number, but I mistook a lower case "L" for a capital "I". Those guys should know better than to use serif-less fonts to display passwords!! Cost me several hours of messing around with settings trying to figure out what was wrong. All is well. Nothing wrong with the K3.
