Apple TV won’t accept network password

I recently purchased a new cable modem and router. The router has a different password than before when Apple TV was connected. Went through the process on the Apple TV to select “Other” network and manually typed in the network SSID…found it and then asked for password. I’ve put in the password correctly and selected “Join” but it won’t accept it and brings me back to input a password. I have several other devices connected to this network with no problem. The modem’s security is WPA2+WPA3 and not just WPA3. The spelling and capitalization is correct for the password…I’ve input it a dozen times and still no go.

I was able to get it working. I hard wired it to the router so it could get internet connection…when plugged into a network port, then you get the option to “forget this network” for the wireless SSID. Once I did that, I reconnected to the wireless, put in the password and it accepted it. Seems like Apple just needs to work on a little code clean up…and add “forget this network” as an option when only connected through WiFi.
