c6300-Cant connect to main nettwork
For some reason I can't connect my new devices to my main network via WiFi. I'm only able to connect my new devices to the Guest network via Wifi only. Weird.
I currently have old devices connected to my main network and is working, but if I try to connect a new device to to the main network it fails- password incorrect. Yes, I do insert the correct password. Steps what I have tried.
Changed Network name and main network password.
reset the modem via the reset button on the modem and powered off and on the modem.
dropped all security on the main network and still can't connect a new device to the main network.
I do have the latest firmware installed.
System configuration's setup
Current firmware is V2.01.22. Model: C6300|AC1750

Is the access control enabled? have you tried to put the device on the allow list?

I disabled the access control list and also I added the device in question to the access control list when it was activated. It's totally weird, all prior devices that where previously connected to the main have no issue connecting to the main even though I disconnect the device from the main and added it back to the main and it works. If I add any new device to the main it just gives me a bad password message and adding to Guest network it works ok.
I'm thinking of doing a factory reboot and see it works. What a pain though.
