Some devices keep saying incorrect WIFI password when it is not incorrect

SUCCESS!  I found a solution that worked for me, hopefully this info might help others too.

 

After researching even more online I found a suggestion to try creating a guest wifi network on your router.

 

So I gave it a try and it WORKED to get my 3 Reolink Argus PT cameras connected to my new router.

 

Now while I feel like it wasn't necessary in my case to give the guest wifi network a password without any special characters I did it anyhow and used just numbers and letters (the cameras had connected to my old router with a special character in that password)

 

Another point to remember is I think you need to have your phone on the same network when adding the cameras. 

 

Just checked and it seems you need to make sure your phone is connected to the guest network when wanting to access the Reolink cameras you connected thru the guest network. (now I have other brand cameras that I connect to the main network that I can still access when on the guest network but an indoor Reolink camera I have E1 that I was able to connect to the main network I can't access thru the guest network like the other brands.   

 

Now I did try seeing if I could switch the cameras back to the main wifi but it didn't work and I have to remove and reinstall the camera I tried it on and add it again to the guest wifi network to access it again.

 

Well, I guess having to switch networks when wanting to go from the outside Reolinks to the inside Reolink is better than buying a new router or new cameras and I am simply thankful I could get them to finally reconnect as I was beginning to think I'd have to replace them with other brands of cameras.
