Forget the WiFi completely on your device and then reconnect with your new password. Also ensure HT160 is disabled in Settings > Advanced > Advanced WiFi Settings on the router.

Have you disabled Smart Connect and trying to connect to 5GHz manually? Change the 5GHz WiFi passsword and then apply, retype the password on your device, will it allow you to connect then?
