Re: scan WIFI works, but password always fails

I haven's seen one of this mentioned in a long time, but some people have reported an inability to connect if their wifi password contained non-alphanumeric characters.

Re: scan WIFI works, but password always fails

The problem of my neighbor's TCL Roku TV not logging in to his wifi  ...

I can log his TV into my wifi next door!  LOL

And his other TCL Roku TV also logs into his wifi first time and always

We are really stumped

Any TCL Roku experts here have any suggestions?

Again,

The TV's network scan finds all his 3 SSIDs and others

Any of his 3 SSID is entered,

the password entered,

"connect" button always results immediately in "not connected"

@satx218 

Verify with your neighbor that he does not have Family Mode Enabled or any setting on the network app that may be "Pausing" the connection to his  network for the RokuTV.

The fact that you can connect this RokuTV to your wifi, but not his own while others are connecting to same network, seems to indicate that a setting (probably from the mobile app) is blocking connection to the TMobile network.
