[Hidden-tech] Wi-Fi headache

[Donald M Stevens]

Can you login when your roommates 2 computers are off, and not lose connection?

Do you know how many devices are using this wifi and how many devices might be hardwired?

This was sent from my smart phone so message may be brief, Don

Check your access setup - there is a setting for sometimes labelled privacy,
That the choice is Device MAC or randomized MAC (which is often the default)
which I have found causes connection problems - change to Device MAC

Good Luck - Rich

Sorry to have to ask such a mundane Q to such an advanced group, but I’m at a loss after googling for an hour.

Working remotely from a Cape Cod rental on Xfinity home WiFi.

It randomly tosses me off and refuses to let me re-connect. Tells me the password is incorrect. It’s happened on two different brand Windows laptops.

BUT meanwhile my housemate is having no connectivity issues trying their two different Windows laptops.  No problems testing connection on iPad and phones. (Not all of these connecting at the same time).

We’ve used this house multiple times in past years and never had this problem. It started a couple of weeks ago. Went away randomly for a week and now has started again.

Any suggestions welcomed by this non techie hidden techer.

Thanks.
