I'm having trouble connecting my IdeaPad 3 laptop to WiFi. I've double-checked that the password is correct, but I keep getting a "Secured" status along with a "Can't connect to this network" message. Every other device connected to the same network works fine using the same password. I've tried updating the drivers, restarting my laptop, and disconnecting then reconnecting to the network multiple times without any luck.

Make sure to check what WiFi card is installed in your laptop. If you're trying to connect to a network using WPA3 security exclusively, that could be the culprit.
There was a known bug in a recent Windows 11 update related to certain network interface cards not connecting to WPA3 WiFi networks. You might want to check if you've installed the latest updates that address this issue.
Since you mentioned you're sure about the password, try using Notepad to type it out first. Then copy and paste it into the WiFi password field. This can rule out any typos.
You might want to try deleting the WiFi network from your laptop, restarting your device, and then entering the password again. Sometimes that helps clear up connection issues.
