Q: wifi password incorrect after iOS 8 update

updated 2 devices to iOS 8 using iTunes at home. iPhone 4s and iPad air 2014. Both no longer connects to my home wifi. Both devices keep saying password incorrect when the password is correct. I have a work iPhone 4s which i updated to iOS 8 at work and this work iPhone 4s connects fine to my home wifi network. i am using an iMac at home as our wifi router. The iMac is connected my cable modem through ethernet cable. Have tried powering off the devices, reset network on iPhone and iPad, still keeps saying "password incorrect". HELP!!

iPhone 4S, iOS 8

I had all the same problems as mentioned above. I dont know if this has been resolved but I just realized that my ASUS router broadcasts on 2.4ghz and 5ghz. It would not work unless i used the password that i have set up on my 5ghz wifi. once i used that password, it signed in no problem.

you need to check your router and find out if it is broadcasting on a 5ghz, and I would then assume that password is different.

you need to check your router settings and make sure the MAC filter disabled and change channel number
