New HomeKit devices won't connect to Wifi. Confirmed with Eero the devices are sending a bad password
Hi, I have a network with 20+ HomeKit devices and I am very familiar with the technical details here. I have three different brands of SmartPlugs that I cannot get to setup and connect to my Eero network. (WeMo, Meross, TP Link). All are failing to join the network. I spoke with Eero, and they confirmed that all of the devices are attempting to join but sending a bad password. It appears that Apple is passing off a bad password to these devices during the HomeKit setup process, and they never are able to join the Network. I am currently running iOS 16.1.1. I'm about to update to a beta to see if there is any difference there. The Wifi password do not contain any special characters. Does anyone have anymore troubleshooting insight here?
