iPhone 11 won't recognize wifi password

My iPhone (iOS 16.3.1) won't connect to my home network, it says the password is incorrect- even when I share the password from another device (MacBook or iPad). I've tried restarting, "forgetting" the network, resetting the network settings. Each time it says my password (which hasn't changed in years) is incorrect. Any ideas?

"The fix was to unplug modem and router and plug in again.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay. I did try this and it told me the password was wrong! In the end, the Spectrum tech came out, changed a couple of cables and replaced the modem.


The same thing happened today- only this time, the iPad an iPhone were online but the two laptops (2015 macbook air and 2019 macbook pro) wouldn't connect. Same issue, the share password was "incorrect". The fix was to unplug modem and router and plug in again.
