Question

Macbook Pro won't accept my WiFi password

I have a weird issue here...

I have an older Macbook Pro with El Capitan OS and Airport Extreme router. Tonight all of sudden, I cannot connect to my WiFi. It doesn't accept the WiFi password (2.4GHz and 5GHz). It connects to other WiFi connection just fine (I have a portable hotspot). My other Macbook Pro with Sierra and my iPhone connect to my WiFi using the same password just fine.

I have restarted my WiFi router, restarted the Macbook Pro, updated Macbook Pro and also deleted all the wifi preferences on my macbook pro and still having the same issue.

Please help.....

OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Open airport utility via spotlight & click on base station name > edit > wireless > wireless options do the settings as per screen shot & finally click on update , also did you update the the firmware .

Again , open airport utility preferences ( you can press command + comma ) do the settings as in screen shot .

Open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilites then select the Wireless tab.

You can change the password from there. Make sure to click Update after changing the password.
