A friend has just got a TCP-Link router. Neither mine, or my wife's, iPhones will connect. All we get is an wrong password message.
Any suggestions?

TP-Link  I have one, a few years old now, so not what he has I'll wager. Presumably he changed the 2.4 and 5GHz passwords. I'm sure you know they are completely case sensitive so maybe he wrote them down incorrectly, or you mistyped, would be the obvious start point. They could check the settings. Some TP-Link have a guest account as well which keeps you off the main LAN. Did he hide the SSID?

I have a TP-Link router and can connect fine from Macs to iOS devices so I don't think there's a fundamental reason why you should be having issues. I wonder if they've enabled MAC address filtering? Could you maybe ask them nicely to restart the router next time you have issues connecting?!

I've had no problems with the various TP-Links I've used.
