RBRE960 - My IoT password is all of a sudden not working
I have over 60 devices connected to my IoT network and in the process of connecting a new device it wants me to be on the network that I want the device to communicate on. When I attempt to enter the password it tells me its incorrect. I know the password is correct. I was able to get around this once by rebooting my phone and plugging the password in.
Then the next time I had to forget the network, enter in the SSID manually and then enter the password.
Now neither method works. Anyone else experience this. Rebooting the router is a pain in the ass and changing the password an even bigger pain in the ass as I have too many devices for that to be a viable solution (I did it once before for something misconfigured).
Is there a setting thats causing this? I have no special characters in the password.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Try changing the IoT password to something else. Apply the change. See if you can connect to it with a mobile device. If you can, then change it back to what you had been using. Apply the change. Use a PC and web browser to make this change on the RBRs web page.
Do you have the separate 6Ghz radio enabled?Any progress on this?
