Nighthawk R7000 Saved/Check Password try again error
My phone (Pixel 8 Pro) all of a sudden won't connect to my Nighthawk R7000 router. Anyone know what is causing this? I have forgot the network and tried to reconnect, NG. I have reset the router, NG. I was trying to see if the router is limited to so many connections but can't seem to find that anywhere in the settings. I have this router running in my garage as an access point and all other phones, TV's, and Smart devices are connected just fine, no issues.

Pixel FW updated recentlly?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

- deragonAspirantI am running the latest update from Google on the Pixel, updated 11/06. I made sure the MAC randomizer is off and just set to phone. Still nothing. I checked for updates on the router last night when I was connected and it said no update available so I must be on the latest.

Do other devices connect to the router?
