The reason I changed it in the first place was that it really isn't a very good one, and I wanted to make it more secure. Unless there is another place to look, the only thing that I can think of is that I changed the 2.4G password to be the same as the one for 5G. I don't think that should be the problem but perhaps I am wrong.

If I try to use the password in luci under WiFi, Radio 0, which is the same one as in /etc/config/wireless, it says wrong password.

I cannot figure out how it can keep rejecting the new password unless there is something somewhere else that also needs to be changed and still has the old password lurking there.</div><br><div>Murray</div><br><hr id="zwchr"><div><b>From: </b>"Craig Miller" <cvmiller@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"VLUG" <discuss@vlug.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, March 30, 2023 5:11:33 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Discuss] OpenWRT Change WiFi Password<br></div><br><div><p>Hi Murray,</p>
<p>Not all devices know how to do WPA3. I ran into this at the last
NetSIG, where some couldn't connect to the wireless.</p>
<p>I changed the Wireless->Edit (your SSID)->Wireless Security
tab->Encryption to WPA2 (any of them should work) in LuCI. Then
the folks at NetSIG could connect.</p>
<p>I hope this helps,</p>

<div>I tried to change the WiFi password for the 2.4G channel
using the luci interface, and also in /etc/config/wireless.
According to the luci interface, it has changed, and also in
the config file. 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.</div>

<div>Any idea what is going on, and how I can fix it? The 5G
channel is working OK (but some of my devices are not 5G
compatible).</div>
