Re: Failure to connect to HAP ax^3 wifi

This is a "never mind" moment. As I pasted the two configurations in this response, I saw that my failing security profile had an extra letter in the passphrase vs. explicitly putting the passphrase in the configuration. After fixing that everything works as expected.
