Ever since I changed my default password to my Wifi it has made it almost impossible to post on this forum. I have to copy what I type before I hit the submit button. Even though my computer says I am connected and have full service. 

 

I wonder if it is getting passwords confused as I haven't changed the gateway name?

I went into network settings and deleted the previous networks to see if it was some how having a issue with using the same network name but different password?

If this fixes the issue doesn't that mean that some where in the Mac OS it didn't change the old password?

I'm using macOS Catalina Version 10.15.3 on a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 for surfing the web. ( seems to be all it's good for ) 

 

That must have fixed the issue, is this a common issue and I just didn't have a clue? Kinda like needing to clear your RAM sometimes even though the software is showing and telling everything correctly? ( The old 'Ghost in the Machine' rearing it's head! )

You bought a $2400+ machine for web browsing?

Not really, unless your wifi router or macos's wifi applet is seriously bugged... try "forgetting" the network on the mac, changing the password and then connecting again.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

No,,, this was a $4,000 machine that turns out to only be good for web browsing! ( I will start another topic about this in a proper place. )

 

Forgetting the networks seemed to have worked. It was just crazy the way it showed I had full Wifi service and saying I was connected but as soon as I hit Submit it went Black and say's 'not connected'.

I guess MacOS is just bugged then. To be fair I've had worse things happen on Windows.
