Hey guys,

I am trying to change the WiFi password for my 5GHz channel wifi from my Xfinity router. The weird thing is that even though I have set a new password instead of the wifi asking for a password, it just connects without asking for one. It stays as an open connection. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: When the router does show that it is secured and ask for a password, it isn't the password that I have assigned. I don't know what else to do.

Double check that you are changing the intended password. You have a password for access to the router. Then you have password(s) for the networks for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. frequencies.

Plus remember to click "Apply". All too easy to just click "OK" and lose any configuration changes that were made.
