Lenovo Android 9 table won't connect to EE Wifi


I've just moved from a BT Smarthub to the EE equivalent. When I try and connect my Android tablet
to the wifi it fails to connect and also fails to remember the password.

I enter the wifi passord and hit connect. After a short pause it says "saved" but never connects.

I have successfully connected 4 other android devices to this new wifi service.

I have tried telling it to forget the connection but this doesn't help. I've tried telling it to forget
all network settings - again no help.

The device is a Lenovo tablet and is running Android 9. No later updates appear to be available.

If I turn on mobile hotspot on my Samsung phone, this  Lenovo tablet will connect to that instead and work.

I don't want to factory reset the tablet.

Any Ideas

Factory reset the hub instead, as it may be stopping the device from authenticating.

A device will not remember the connection if it fails to authenticate.

If you have moved to EE, then they have a separate community forum.

Have you tried restarting the tablet?

The hub was brand new out of the box and the first thing I did was connect the WIFI to two tablets, my Samsung which worked and then my wife's Lenovo. that didn't

Yes several times. I told it to forget the settings and then did a shutdown/restart. Didn't solve it.

I would still try a factory reset of the hub, as there may still be an issue with it.  Try a different wireless mode on the hub, as I assume its similar to the BT one.
