Running Elementary OS 5.1.6 (Hera), trying to connect to an eero router via WiFi. I put in the correct password (I have checked and re-entered the password literally a dozen times now), click Connect, and it looks like it's trying to authenticate but fails. I can:

  • connect to the eero via wired connection on this machine
  • connect to every other wifi ssid i've ever attempted on this machine
  • connect via wifi to this router on Android, MacOS, and Windows devices of all kinds
  • see the connection in the eero app (I've checked that it's the wireless LAN adapter, not the wired), and it's listed as idle.

here's the /var/log/syslog from my most recent attempts. I've used the native network manager and wicd. I have deleted the backported Intel network drivers.

This problem went away after a whole day of frustrating research, but without any clear reason. I went into Advanced Settings under the wired connection, while wired to the eero pro, and all of a sudden the wifi connected, and has stayed connected even after disconnecting the wired. If you're having this problem, try that! It might help!

UPDATE: This connection survived my machine going to sleep once, but not twice. The next morning it was back to the old brokenness.

Here's what i think are the relevant syslog entries from when it succeeded:

  • did you turn off some other device? Commented Jul 13, 2020 at 3:53
  • Actually, we're at the next morning, and the problem is right back where it started...I'll try the same thing I did yesterday (wired connect to the eero pro, then go to to Advanced Settings) while tailing my syslog and report what happened. to jsotola's point, no I don't believe any device was disconnected from the eero during that period. I tried several times yesterday to check if it was hitting some theoretical maximum connections and couldn't find any evidence that it was. Commented Jul 13, 2020 at 13:16
