Description aronkvh 2021-12-27 15:19:28 UTC 
Every couple of days, plasma refuses to connect to my main wifi network. It asks for the password endlessly but gives no error. security is WPA, passowrd is set to be encrypted for all users unencrypted. The router is a UPC Connect Box (given by the company) - I've reset it multiple times, other devices have no problem connecting to it.  my laptop can connect to other wifi networks.

Is this still happening with newer software?

I don't have that device anymore, but I haven't noticed it for a long time on other devices.
