RBR750 - using a certain Wifi SSID doesn't work but any other SSID does?

Would be curious if you disabled WPA security on the RBR temporarily, while using SSID name of Main, does any mobile connect then? Re-enable WPA2 and AES after testing.

Did that system have exactly the same password?
Is that system "gone". (Not broadcasting WiFi any more?)
Might be useful to tell the iPhone to "forget" the SSID "Main", then select it from the menu, enter the password again, and connect.
