I have an Asus rt-ac66u wireless router replaced a Belkin. My son and I have the same iphone 4s, his connects with the Asus and I keep getting "Cannot connect to Asus" also his laptop will connect and mine won't.

The weirdest thing about this (to me) is that both your laptop and phone can't connect, but all other devices can.

It sounds like either you're doing something wrong, there's some form of MAC filtering, or there's some other link between your devices.

You don't have any form of traffic management (limiting/metering a certain user's monthly data) set up? I believe you can do it on that router, and it might do that if set up in a particular way and it believes you're over your cap.

I can't see a lot of extra options aside of either a factory reset on at least the router (and probably looking at wiping the WLAN settings on your laptop and phone, possibly complete reinstall), or using packet analysis tools e.g. Aircrack to see what's...

It seems this address is a default and didn't see an option to disable.
Thanks.

Yes and Yes.
It doesn't even ask for the passwod, just the message cannot connect to the ASUS yet other equipment connects ok, i.e., Nook, ipad other iphones.
