About 0200utc on apr 24. My orbi mesh dropped wifi with bad passwords (worked for years)I am in phoenix, my friend in la has the same issue started same time (or so) Different issues and equipment. Commonality is 850 (router + 2 satellites) Tried to reinit and default ssid does same thing. Weird. Any thoughts.

Came back working now. Did nothing. Weirder.

What do you mean by bad passwords? What devices are being connected?

That is error when trying to connect to the ssid for wifi.

Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/NETGEAR-Mobile-Applications-and-Apple-Devices-FAQ/td-p/2220016/jump-to/first-unread-message

Checked. Not on. The building internet (condo) got knocked down too. (Non orbi, but netgear) plus the California matching problem. Have not asked if that self repaired, too early.Plus not apple devices.
