Thank you for pointing out the hint regarding the USB C plug I removed the plugged-in harddrive and it worked perfectly ✌️

Thanks brother, Your solution worked for me like magic. My Macbook wasn't detecting my 5gz wifi, But thanks to your advice of editing location, it magically started detecting it. Thankyou

Dude you just saved me a trip to Apple and perhaps some money. If anyone keeps getting the invalid password response then try disconnecting all usb plugs and it might work. I tried everything else and of all the things this is what helped. Thanks man 💪

Hi, thank you so much! You just saved my life. All of my type C devices where plugged in and that caused the wifi problem.

This video is really SUPER! My MacBook was not running its WiFi steadly. The issue with my Mac was this: I was using 2 pen drivers connected to the USB ports and have tried many alternatives but no success after all. After viewing this life saving video, I found that removing the 2 pen drivers the Wi-Fi access to the router came back to normal. So, if you have such an issue with no access to your W-Fi router (or slow access as well), just try removing your your pen driver (just disconnect it from the USB port). Thank you very much, Phil, from Make Tech Easier!!!!

Thank you, you helped me solve my issue. MacBook Pro 2018 connected to WiFi for months and suddenly it would not connect. It turned out to be a Logitech transmitter connected to a USB hub (type C connector). How can Apple make such a mistake? Something else I noticed is that if my MAC is connected to a 5.0 Ghz WiFi signal, all my bluetooth devices connect and reconnect; this is a well known issue. Unbelievable !!! Thanks again for your help.

If you are on desktop mac and your wifi is litterally not turning on or turning on for a literal milisecond and you trying to restart many times, add new interfaces or other methods. Do the steps on the screen at 3:41 this should fix your problem
