• I’m staying the week at a family members house for Thanksgiving and decided to bring my PC. I’ve been here before and have been able to log onto the WiFi without any issues. But now whenever I try to connect I keep getting the same error message…

“The network security key isn’t correct. Please try again.”

  • I’ve never had this happen before. It doesn’t make sense because I’m using the correct password. I even forgot the network on a few devices I had with me and tried reconnecting with the same password and it worked. So it’s not the password.

Here’s a list of things I have already tried:

  • Updated all the drivers.
  • Rolled back to a previous driver that I know worked before but still no luck.
  • Reset Network Adapters
  • Adding the network manually

It’s just weird that it says I typed in the wrong password when I know it’s not and how other devices are able to connect to the same network using the same password but my PC can’t.

Does anyone know what I can do? Or any idea what the issue might be? All help/advice/tips are greatly appreciated.

Thank you…

    If this is happening on multiple devices I’d restart the router.

    If it were happening in my own house, I’d reset the router.

    I think it’s rejecting the connection for other reasons like being overloaded and your devices are misinterpreting that as a bad password
