Incorrect Password

One second it was working and the next I was booted off the wifi. When trying to reconnect it keeps saying incorrect wifi password. This is happening on my Mac and my iPhone. I even tried doing the Share Password feature, but still nothing. I reset the router by sticking the pin in and holding for 30 seconds, but that didn’t work. I tried to just flip the router off waiting for 30 second then back on, but that also did nothing. Any suggestions on my next steps. TIA

  • do wired devices work?
    Is it only the wireless ones with issues?

      I do not have any hard wired devices. I have a laptop, iPad, Mac, and gaming device that connect to the router via wifi only.

        then I'd find a way to wire one in. Either with a usb-->etherenet adapter, using an actual ethernet port (if they have one), or even borrowing a laptop to tests. 

        What modem do you have it connected to? 

        What firmware is on the router?

        When you reset, did you push reset while it was powered on?

        What are all the led's on it doing?
