Tried all reset options but my iPhone will not accept router password. Wifi on my mac is OK so trouble is not with the router. This happened after turning on hotspot. I disabled hotspot but can't get my home wifi back on my phone. I have posted this before but can't retrieve a reply (went through 67 Pages and gave up). How can you find your post, I searched the exact title???
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13
Thank you for your advice... although these are the things that I've tried in the past 6 days with resets and contact with both my internet and phone providers. My iPhone 7plus does not have the feature "forget this network". I'm thinking this is a glitch with software not acknowledging the correct password which is displayed on the router. So I called Apple Support and was on hold for 40 min waiting for tech rep who led me through the same things and then he hung up or something because we got disconnected. After wasting hours and hours I'm ready to throw the phone away, I can still get on wifi with my mac. He needed to send a code or a diagnostic to my phone but seemed not knowledgeable enough to accomplish it. I'm unsure if I want to go through that again. If you have any other helpful suggestions, I'm forever grateful....
