There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Most devices require manual setup after upgrading the access point. The phone has a password manager and probably auto filled since the network name was the same. Smart home devices, and computers may not have a password manager that allows auto fill for Wi-Fi passwords.
I think that OP is saying that he believes that he's typing the correct password in on other devices as well and not having luck, though I'm not entirely sure.
Oh I thought they were saying they reused their old password and ssid for the newly installed fiber gateway/WAP. Then expected everything to automatically reconnect to the new network with the old name
Oh, that's a good thought.
