Orbi - iPhone 7 Plus can't connect

I can't for the life of me get my iPhone 7 Plus to connect.  I intially was getting "incorrect password".  I changed the SSID, and then it accepted the password but would never connect.  Other devices, i.e. Surface Pro 4 connects just fine, albeit seems a bit slow but it connects.

 

I tried resetting my iphone's network settings and that is what caused it to change from "incorrect password" to just a few attempts at connecting but never does.

 

Does anyone else have this issue with IOS devices, or iPhones?

 

I can't even evalutate it because it's so horrific.

I'm an idiot and just figured it out. My current network is a Meraki Network. I had AirMarshall enabled. That was killing any connections to rogue APs, in this case the Orbi. I whitelisted it and I'm good to go. Can't believe I forgot about that security measure. Good news, it works. 😀

Do you have any funky characters in your SSID or password?  While technically any printable ASCII character is permitted, it's possible that the Orbi may not accept all of them.  Start with something simple to get things working, like an 8 character alphanumeric password.  If that works, experiment with more complex.
