Hello,

I'm presenting my problem:

I have an SFR box and for the past two months, I haven't been able to connect via Wi-Fi. I had to use a cable to get an internet connection. Due to a lack of time, I didn't dive into the problem immediately.
This morning, while browsing a bit on Google, I reached the page http://192.168.1.1
There, I tried a few things; I activated the Hotspot, it works... But it's not the Wi-Fi, so I disabled it.
In the Wi-Fi tab, I realized that I had the wrong password and that, moreover, I had to enter the computer's address for the network to "accept the device."
So I did that, I entered the one for my phone + my PC.

First attempt on my phone: PERFECT
it works via Wi-Fi, I can access the internet, etc.

So I did the same thing on my PC, and there... it doesn't work.
I don't understand. My PC detects the Wi-Fi, it asks me to enter the code, and as soon as I hit "enter" after entering the code, it doesn't even load; I instantly get the message "could not connect to the network thing"....
Whereas before it said "wrong password" and so on...

I don't get it anymore since it worked directly on my phone.

Please help me, I’m not very computer-savvy, so please explain in as much detail as possible :(
Thank you very much.

    Re-hello.

    Still in 192.168.1.1,
    [WiFi Tab -> Security -> Enable WPS.]
    make sure the WPS Button field is selected.

    Don't worry about the timeout exceeded.
    Perform the action on your box
    [move the Wi-Fi button from position I to >]
    and connect your computer.

    Best regards, Do.o
