wifi password incorrect after iOS 8 update

updated 2 devices to iOS 8 using iTunes at home. iPhone 4s and iPad air 2014. Both no longer connects to my home wifi. Both devices keep saying password incorrect when the password is correct. I have a work iPhone 4s which i updated to iOS 8 at work and this work iPhone 4s connects fine to my home wifi network. i am using an iMac at home as our wifi router. The iMac is connected my cable modem through ethernet cable. Have tried powering off the devices, reset network on iPhone and iPad, still keeps saying "password incorrect". HELP!!

I'm having the exact same issues and have tried all of these steps. I've been on the phone 2 days in a row and also spoke to a senior adviser with no luck. I tried restoring as new and also from backup with no luck either. All of my other devices will work with the password but not my iPhone 6. I'm sick of having trouble with new iPhones. You spend $800 on a new phone and shouldn't have these issues. Please help ad I have an active case number.

Ok, 4 days later after purchase and I still have no resolve to my iphone 6 showing incorrect password when trying to connect to my wifi. Again, I have 10-11 other devices that will connect with no issues (Apple, Android, Roku and others). I can't get any help from Apple other than the generic ineffective help as listed above and I'm about to take this piece back to At&t and get something else that will work correctly. This is ridiculous Apple! Why can't you make quality products anymore? I was one of Apple's biggest fans, but now this? I can't continue waiting for a resolve when the 8.0.1 update today, wrecked everyone's phones all over again. This is eating up my data plan without being able to use wifi. APPLE PLEASE HELP ME! And please don't link me to another Senior Advisor that will rudely hang up on me as on Sunday, 9-21-2014.

I tried the new 8.0.2 update and it still didn't work. There isn't an apple store anywhere around here and I'm sick of calling them and they just keep saying the same things over and over again. All of my devices work on my router except the iphone 6. I can even delete their existence through my router and then resign in again with all of them except the iphone 6. The router is functioning fine.
