I just got the Xiaomi Mi Box International (MDZ-16-AB) today, however I have had issues with connecting it to WiFi. No matter how many times I try to connect to my router, 2.4G or 5G, it says "Wi-Fi password not valid". I have checked very carefully that I have entered in the correct password. My router is a Netgear V7610. Every other device is able to connect to it just fine. MAC filtering on my router is off.

Things I have tried:

• Setting password to "WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]"
• Setting password to "WPA2-PSK [AES] "
• Disabling 5GHz and attempting to connect to 2.4GHz
• Disabling 2.4GHz and attempting to connect to 5GHz
• Connecting via WPS -> "Connected successfully" message, but no connection. The connection is saved but trying to connect just gives the same "Wi-Fi password not valid".
• Disabling WPS
• Setting the 2.4GHz radio to b/g (instead of b/g/n)
• Setting up a guest network and trying to connect to that
• Using a simple password = "password"

None of the above have worked. The only thing that allows it to connect is if I disable the password, but of course I can't leave my network without a password.

Strangely enough I can also connect just fine to my mobile phone hotspot with WPA2 password. I have used this to get past the setup screen and test out the features of the box, but this isn't a long term solution.

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to the WiFi with their Mi Box or other Android Box? From googling I see that some people got the same invalid-password error with various android phones, which led me to take the troubleshooting steps above.

It's looking like I have to buy a new router, which I'd rather avoid since it is fairly new, and I don't want to put in $100+ just to get my Mi Box working (every other device works fine).

EDIT: Thanks for suggestions guys. I will try them out when I get a chance.
