"can't connect to this network" error message

[jgharib]

Using Orbi RBK13 WiFi extender.  Most devices connect without issue.  HP laptop has trouble connecting.  Repeatedly get "can't connect to this network" error message, then it decides to work.  Next day, same thing.  Eventually connects after repeated PW entry.  Apple devices seem to have no issue.  HP OS is Windows 10.

After computer slept, then logged back in - same message appears and can't connect to network.

Tried Forget Network then re-enter password.  Still fails, then eventually works.

adding info: same thing with a new Dell laptop.  Eventually worked.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Could be a Windows thing. This can be set to send devices to sleep to save power.
