I had an issue a few weeks ago with my work laptop (windows 10). I got a new router from Sky and to save me changing the WiFi details on all the bits of kit round the house I decided to just change the network name and password on the router.

All was good until the next day when I turned my laptop on and it just wouldn't connect to the WiFi, and whatever I did made no difference. I swapped the router back to the old one and everything connected no problem. Sky wanted the old router back so keeping it wasn't an option so in the end I reset the new router, kept the default network name and password and everything (including my work laptop) connected no problem.
