Had wifi password issue here this evening. First noticed my TV wasn't connect and it couldn't find my 5GHz network, only my 2.4. Went to my phone and tried to log in to 5GHz. Got "Incorrect password" on both devices. Checked router settings and they were fine. Rebooted the router and the wifi disconnect and "incorrect login" went away. In my case it was a flaky Netgear router, not my iPhone.

Funny thing is, I try rebooting and it never seem to work most times. I noticed my iPad never has any issues staying connected though. That’s interesting.

I have been having the same password issue as well and it’s so annoying. It takes 3-4 attempts to get it to connect. And then sometimes it’ll say no internet even though it’s connected when my iPad is connected to it with no problems.


Yep that’s me as well. I found a workaround, just connect to the 2.4ghz after you notice it won’t connect back. It will connect successfully to that then 5Ghz will work right after.

I reported the issue to Apple. So hopefully it gets a fixed.
 
For the last 3 or 4 days, my Screen Time info has stopped showing me which apps are getting the most use. No clue what happened, but now it only shows the Settings app with 1-3 seconds of use.

Since the Mac is also having a similar issue in some way. I’d say it’s a config thing that only affects how Apple makes WiFi works in their software. Try: changing the WiFi channel (try channel 9/11).

A different security type (open or WPA2 or a simple password change).

Check the router advance settings (I know beam forming causes some issues.)

I used to use Airport Express routers, and I have used them on Auto as well as select channels for years. I did not notice any reliability difference in between using and not using select channels. I have only ever used WPA2 since it was available, I like strong passwords. No beam-forming routers here.

Currently using a 4G LTE hotspot to serve Wi-Fi to all devices in the household. Benefit is if electricity goes off, my internet connectivity is still available. Plus, awkwardly, my broadband internet is unreliable at my current location whereas the same provider was rock solid at my previous place of residence. I switched to using LTE hotspots and have had peace of mind.

I see. Try the manual setting then vs the auto. I remember having a similar issue when I had the extreme. But that one was the second gen.

Oh, I might not have come clearly, I have used manual channels as well as auto channels. When I stopped using the Apple routers in favour of a 4G hotspot, I was using a manually-selected channel. Wi-Fi is unfortunately a known sore spot in the Apple world going back to Mac OS X days.

I understand now. I guess this bug is bigger than I thought lol. Funny thing is my iPad is all good with WiFi. Not one issue in a long time.

Oh yes, that reminds me of my iPad Air 2 as well. Zero issues. But, those days I did not have issues with my 5s as well. It's somewhere down the line with some macOS and iOS release that I have started having connectivity issues on my iPhone and Mac.

My email accounts are Google and iCloud. which both work great with 13.3.0.
My icloud emails and reminders have got worse over the weeks. New Mail takes and eternity to download. Reminders don't sync between devices. Can't wait for the full public release of the update.

All my devices on 13.3.1 B1 had no issues on any emails accounts (icloud, gmail, outlook). Reminders fine also. Moved to B2 yesterday and still having no issues.
