Iphone 16 no longer connects to wifi

My new iPhone 16 does not connect to WiFi

It initially worked for 6 hours, but I'm now without wifi connection. My MacBook is connected to the wifi, so the wifi is fine. For some reason, mu iPhone can not connect. The message I receive is that the password is incorrect which it is not. My router has a QR code that automatically connects the device to the wifi. I also tried to manually put in the password, but it does not work. I have rebooted the phone, but the problem persists. Older iPhones are well connected, but not the iPhone 16.

It shows the Wifi name but the gadget ikon to the right just spins continually and it will no longer connect.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

First, restart your router by removing all power from it for 15-30 seconds (even if other devices that use it are working).

Password Incorrect can mean what it says, but the same message will appear if you have MAC filtering (aka Access Control) enabled in the router and the new device Wi-Fi address is not in the Allowed table.

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN.
