What does it mean when it says "No internet, secured"??? It had internet
45 minutes ago, when I left to make a phone call.

It must be connected because the button is labeled Disconnect.

I tried both the regular wifi and the one with -5G. Will their
passwords be the same??? (I'm at my brother's so I don't know.)

I had to switch to my phone which told me today I'm up to 80% of my
monthly quota and they will slow the rate soon. ;-(

Will the passwords be the same?

Passwords for wifi(2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) are normally configured by the
person who setup the router.

e.g. Netgear routers that provide both 2.4 and 5 wifi connections have
the ability to have the same or different passwords for each wifi connection.

Thus, the only to way to determine the answer to your question.
Test using the same password for the alternate connection.
If it works, you're good to go.
If it does not work, ask your brother

'No Internet, secured' typically means your device is connected to the
router's wifi network with a secured connection and without internet access.

What that means is that you have a Wi-Fi connection to the router, which is
secured (using a key) but that the router has lost its connection to the
Internet (or, rarely, is blocking your Wi-Fi connection to the Internet). Very
often a router will sort itself out, but you may like to restart the router
(once) to nudge it into seeking a fresh Internet connection. The server may be
down, so it may not come back instantly. Chances are it'll have come back by
the time you read this!

5G is a cellular protocol, not Wi-Fi, so the connection would be authenticated
by the mobile's SIM. You may be thinking of 5GHZ, which is a faster (but
slightly shorter-range) wireless protocol than the older 2.4GHz. The passwords
might well be the same, but as they are configurable they might have been set
differently by the router's owner. In any event, you've successfully connected
over Wi-Fi already, so that's not the issue.

I think he's referring to 5Ghz wifi.

Micky: The passwords are usually the same.

I've gotten this at home, and I just try again and usually it works.

I have restarted the router a couple times over the y ears, but I don't
even know where this one is, and my brother would snap at me if I
restarted it, even if he wasn't doing anything at the time. I'd have to
ask and he's ask why, and I'd explain, and he'd say, I don't know
anything about that. Easier to go to the phone.

>> The server may be

Maybe it did, but I'm using the phone now, and I'm sticking with a
winner. Next time I connect, I'll try the home wifi again.

Yes, 5G wifi. Neither my brother or sil would have gone out of their
way to do something fancy, although I admit someone changed the password
from the gobbledygook it might have come with to a name,

FriedaBush.

My nephew is from Texas and speaks Spanish fluently. His wife is from
Peru and speaks English pretty well, and I'm positive she'll get better.
He told me the password and pronounced it Freeda so I spelled it Freda
or Freeda.
She told me the second time and pronouced it Free-eyda, so I spelled
it right. ;-) But then when I had to reconnect, i had the problem
above.

That means, that you have WiFi but no internet access using that WiFi.

No, 5G has nothing to do with WiFi.

But if your device has WiFi calling enabled *and* you are often
connected to a WiFi network which does not have internet access, this
may explain why you miss calls from time to time.

Wifi-Router that use 5G or 4G as connection to the internet are very
popular in many places. I used one in France during vacation two years ago.

But that device usually has a different name.

"Hotspot" "Tethering"

I just meant that the name of the wifi ended in -5G, like verizon23 and
verizon23-5G

For another reason I tried to turn on wifi calling and couldn't figure
out where to do that. Or maybe it's on now. I looked in the
window-shade options and the Settings and saw no reference to it.

FWIW a Xioami phone, I forget the model.

https://daskannwas.ch/tests/so-einfach-geht-heim-internet-ueber-5g/

The word router is used. Hotspot or tethering is absolutely irrelevant
because the wifi-part ist alway the same.

The German name WLAN (Wireless LAN) is much more precise than the
english wifi.

On my Samsung Galaxy S20FE, WiFi Calling is located in Settings, Connections,
immediately below the WiFi settings. Maybe yours is similar.

No. Mine (at a different location) is just "the router". Only the owner
knows that the router has a SIM inside and that there is no cable to the
house.

Thanks. That didn't work. And I guess I hve to google, with the word
xioami, so I did and the first two didn't work.

I know th is doesn't affect many people here and I'm only printing it
because it's amazing. I haven't tried it yet.
A reddit guy said:
These are the steps I did to be able to enable wifi calling on Mint
Mobile with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro:

Call *#*#869434#*#*

It will say something like " VoWifi carrier check was disabled "

Restart the phone.

Go to SIM settings, pick the mint** sim and activate Wifi Calling (it
didn't appear before doing these settings). **Since this is a mint
reddit.

!!!!
More than one person said it worked for them too.

What does he mean by *#*# and #*#*? those very keys on the keypad? YES
he does, becaue I didn't even have to tap "Dial". just putting those
symbols and numbers in got the message "VoWifi carrier check was
disabled". Now I'm restarting. Well, I dont' think it worked for me,
even though I have the same model he does. Oh, well.

But it worked with *#*#86583#*#* !!! And like I said, you don't have
to call, only enter the symbols and numbers into the line.

Presumably designed like these codes. If only the phone

I didn't know that one but Roku devices have secret menus that you access like
those, consisting of a bunch of Up-Down-Left-Right sequences.

If you're going to use these codes it's good to understand the different
types. Some work everywhere, some work for a make or model of device, some
work for a particular operator or SIM.

This is rather old, but a good summary and probably still true:

Perhaps you are not familiar with LTE routers that use a SIM card.

Seems to be pretty obvious.

Yes, I did not realize, that it was about WiFi with 5GHz.

It's not a "German name". Neither "wireless" nor "local area network" is
"German". "Wireless LAN" or "wireless local area network" *is* the
official English term for that kind of network connections.

"WiFi" is an abbrevation for the slogan "Wireless Fidelity" originally
created by Interbrand, the company hired by the alliance which did
search for a more catchier name instead of "IEEE 802.11b". And
"wireless LAN" was also not "catchy" enough. So Interbrand created
"Wireless Fidelity" along with the "WiFi" logo and that became the
standard term similar to like using brand names like "Tempo" in Germany
for a hanky or "UHU" for glue.
