Hi @Rachel120692 ,

 

Has everything worked ok in the past and this is a recent problem which has occurred?

 

Has there been any recent change or new addition that may have caused this?

 

As a sanity check, are you able to Ethernet cable a device to the LAN ports to bypass the WiFi password and see that internet works ok?
