[Discuss] OpenWRT Change WiFi Password

[Murray Strome]

yes, several times. After one of those times, it worked for a while, then disconnected and was back to same problem. After most of the reboots, nothing changed.

I was then able to login on several devices, but after a while, the WiFi disconnected and when I tried to login again, it said "wrong password". If I used the old password, it says that it connects, but there is no internet. If I look at the config file and the luci interface, they both show the new password. 

I find, when encountering weirdness in openwrt after config changes, that a reboot will fix things. Have you tried rebooting?
