<div dir="ltr"><div>My update of Ubuntu and my loss of access to a router appears merely coincidental. I only suspected that the problem was because of an update. I didn't know where the problem was coming from, and, because my computer appeared to be the only one using the router to have the problem, I (erroneously in hindsight) speculated that the problem was due to an Ubuntu update that happened meanwhile. As most things seem to sort themselves out in this way, I wasn't surprised to find my suspicions came to naught although I am happy to find that I have access to the router again.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 24 Dec 2018 at 23:28, Colin Law <<a href="mailto:clanlaw@gmail.com">clanlaw@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 24 Dec 2018 at 11:22, Owen Thomas <<a href="mailto:owen.paul.thomas@gmail.com" target="_blank">owen.paul.thomas@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>It was the router.

Have you tried removing the connection (from network manager) and<br>
reconnecting? You will have to enter the password again.<br>
