How do I change the ssid in the hp8600? Will not conect to router.

verify it is trying to connect to correct SSID - verify p/w entered correctly - verify MAC address is allowed in router.
chk to see if router is seeing chromecast asking for access.

Routers are normaly shiped with the SSID on the back along withe the Pass key{password} if this has been alterd then you will need to conect up your router with a ethernet cable to a computer and open up you browser and type 192.168.0.1 this will take you to your router setup page you will need the admin password to change your ssid and passkey

Enable your SSID broadcast on your router, if not shown, insert SSID and/or password(if needed) manually.

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

Good Day,

check the WEP, WPA, WPAPSK of your router and the SSID there's a chance that it was changed, so check the setting of your router and the wireless NIC in your laptop if it's still working.

Good luck.

Hi fine so i do understand u are able to go online wired but not wireless....just try these steps

Step 1: Connect modem>>router>>computer
Step 2: Open the browser page and type http://192.168.2.1
Step 3: Towards the left coloumn click on channel and ssid below wireless
Step 4: Change the channel to 11
Step 5: Assign ur own ssid name-any name as u prefer
Step 6: Checked broadcast ssid is enabled or checked
Step 7: Then apply changes
Step 8: Then click on the security below channel and ssid
Step 9: Select the security type as 64 bit wep
Step 10: Type any 10 numbers make note of those nos thats ur password
Step 11: THen disconnect the connection between router and laptop
Step 12: Tried scan and connect
Step 13: U wiil see the network created by u select that and connect

It will surely work out

Login to the web-server "inside" the router, and then change the SSID from 'dlink' to your desired name. Also, change from "no encryption" to "WPA" encryption.

If the other laptop can't see the network, then it sounds like you somehow turned off SSID broadcasting while you were in the router's settings. Log back into your router and look for the SSID broadcast enable setting. Make sure it is set to on, then save the changes and reset the router if you have to. The laptop should be able to see it now. (There is also a setting in the Windows wireless network properties that you can check to connect to a network even if it is not broadcasting, as long as you have connected to it previously.)

Hope that helps!
