Password not working for Netgeasr Wifi Router #: A X1800

Every time I try to add a new device to my netgear network, the password comes back as "invalid". I've triple-checked my password and know it's right. What am I doing wrong? This happened with my printer and now it's happening again with my new phone.

  • what router do you have? AX1800 is a speed.

    Are you using any special characters or spaces in the ssid or password? Some devices have issues with those. 

    Try going into the router and changing the ssid/password and see if its an issue with the one you have setup. 

    Are you using wpa2/wpa3? Try wpa2. Some older devices have had issues on wpa3
