All of my Macs and my iPhone keep forgetting the Wi-Fi password for our home network.
And I keep having to manually input the same unchanged password.
The lone windows machine and android phone don’t.
What should I check
What’s going on?
Hey there AppleBrianJones,
We'd like to help, so let's start ruling out some possible causes, along with confirming more details to better understand what's happening:
Cheers!
An addition to bruno75's response:
check also the cable from the router to the Mac, replace the cable if necessary.

When did this start to occur on your Mac models and iPhone?
It has happened twice over the last week
What exactly shows when you mentioned it 'forgets' the Wi-Fi network password?
I notice I am no longer connected to my home WiFi. I select my usual home network from the available WiFi networks and am then presented with the password dialog box to enter the password. Usually I would be automatically connected to my known home network and not have to enter any password.
Are other Wi-Fi network acting the same way, or just the one you're using currently?
Just my usual home network - which is the only one I use at home.
Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart. Check out Restart your iPhone and the section ‘Restart your Mac' here: Shut down or restart your Mac We also recommend restarting your Wi-Fi router(if this is your home Wi-Fi network).
I've done all these and after two days so far so good
