Q: Can no longer connect to wifi network
My landlord controls our wifi and I assume he has the router or device somewhere in his apartment, as he lives adjacent to us. I used to be able to connect to our wifi network until yesterday when I came back after being away for a month. I expected this, as he had previously sent an email saying he changed the network password while I was away. When I tried to connect to the network, my MacBook recognized the network and tried to connect. Instead of connecting to the internet, the icon had an exclamation point in it and there was an alert that said something like "unable to connect to the internet." I figured this was because of the new password, so I went into launchpad > keychain access > and deleted the keychain that was attached to the wifi login for that specific network. I tried entering the new password but every time I try it says that I have the wrong password, even though I am 100% sure it is the right one. It still accepts the old password but it doesn't connect. I would normally assume that I'm entering something wrong, but the weird thing is my roommate is able to connect using the new password and my iPhone is also able to still connect, even though I didn't make any changes to the settings (I guess it's still using the old password). Does this make any sense? I can't seem to find any answers.
