Nighthawk RAX80 Incorrect WIFI Password on certain devices

Have my Nighthawk RAX80 for a few years now, all updates done but on several devices I get the Incorrect WIFI Password.  Even reading other discussions about the “no special characters” in the password I haven’t found a way to solve the issue.  It only happens to certain devices (like iPad Air) and it is annoying as I am running several apps like Home Assistant which requires to be logged in the router (not the Guest WiFi option).  Open to assistance.

  • If you're using icloud relay or private mac/ip address on the apple devices disable them. 

    Also, "forget" or remove the network from the apple device and try to connect

      None of these solutions worked.
      It’s been working fine for years,
      Keeps saying password not recognized, and won’t accept when I type in the actual password. Getting frustrating….

        And things around you change.  Firmware updates, operating system updates, security threats, and on and on.....

         

        After you made the changes plemans suggested, did you restart your devices?

         

        Nothing cute in your password like special characters or spaces?
