Digest for misc.consumers.frugal-living@googlegroups.com - 8 updates in 3 topics

I have been trying to access wifi but kept being told that I had the wrong password.
 
I subsequently realized that I indeed was typing in the wrong passwork. When I tried to access it again with the correct password, the name of the wifi provider I was supposed to connect to disappeared from the list of providers.
 
Has that happened to you? Has that provider's name been deleted because it looked suspicious that I was trying repeatedly to access it with the wrong password?
 
Am I supposed to wait a day or 2 for that provider's name to reappear of the list?

I don't have a clue. My wi-fi stays on 24/7 and it's a secure setting so
no one can access it unless I give them the password. That ain't happening.
But I do see my neighbors all around me networks but since I don't have their
passwords I can't access their signal. But I have my own so no need to use
their wi-fi.

I don't have a clue for this either.

Who is the provider? Where is the network set up? Why don't you ask them?

Thanks to all for your quick and informative replies.
 
Couldn't there be a command (alt-?) that will reveal the complete list of wifi connections including the one that disappeared after I entered the wrong password over and over?

I guess you're locked out and figured you were a hacker trying to steal people's
information since you didn't know the password. But I bet you've not asked
anyone other than here for help.

What operating system are you using?
 
Google "refresh wireless networks" for that operating system.
