It kept saying &#8220;incorrect password&#8221; even though the password hadn&#8217;t changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I tried a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Forget Wi-Fi network and reconnect -> didn&#8217;t work<\/li><li>Reset network settings -> Just lost all my Wi-Fi passwords, thank you!<\/li><li>Reboot and power cycle iPhone -> didn&#8217;t work<\/li><li>Force reboot iPhone -> didn&#8217;t work<\/li><li>Power cycle router -> didn&#8217;t work<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I was at a loss, searching the numerous result for this problem, that seems to appear quite a lot, brought no useable results. Basically just variations of the steps above, and countless admonitions that Wi-Fi passwords are case sensitive. Well, nothing new here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting were some users that reported solving the problem when shifting the Wi-Fi channel width from 20 MHz to 40 or 80 MHz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My D-Link Covr P2500 doesn&#8217;t allow me to tweak these settings. It&#8217;s a mesh, multi-MIMO router with a powerline extension. Works wonders in our house, but also meant this wasn&#8217;t an option for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One intermediary step, that was successful, was changing the Wi-Fi password. The phone immediately connected. But this wasn&#8217;t an option. We have some IoT and lot&#8217;s of guests, so changing the password just so my iPhone could reconnect wasn&#8217;t adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did work is factory resetting the router. I downloaded all my settings. Factory reset the router, and then actually didn&#8217;t upload the settings again, since it&#8217;s really just the SSID and the password as well as the admin password. I hadn&#8217;t used any schedules or such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, the iPhone connected again like a charm. Maybe some profile was left on the router. I still don&#8217;t really know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when you face that problem, and you have full access to your router. Try factory resetting this and see if it improves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I noticed a few days ago, that my iPhone wouldn&#8217;t connect to my WiFi any more.
