Does it "see" the wifi?
Are you able to enter the correct code?
Remember it is case sensitive.
Error codes or messages?

Yes it sees the wifi.
I've entered the right password ( my iPad & iPhone are also connected without any issues)
It tells me " there was a problem connecting to the network" " there's a problem with your network connection. Check your settings and try connecting again " (-3905)
Any thoughts?!

If you have a wireless MAC filter set up on your router, it blocks new devices from being added. Disable this filter, just make sure you still have a password to secure your network.

I looked at my router, it does have that. How do I disable it? Or should I just go and get an Ethernet cable and call it a night?
It does show that it's connected then quickly says I'm not.

It was an accidental post, meant for something else.

Consult router manual on how to change settings.
