I have to do this whenever I get an OS update. I learned the hard way - by having a fight with the Windows people after waiting 40 minutes to get through to an actual person. They kept telling me it was my router, or my modem, or my internet provider, or my cable company. And I kept telling them that all my other devices were working just fine. After being transferred to someone who actually spoke English as a first language, I was able to explain (for the 10th time) to someone who understood me. They said no, I don't have to shut my computer off, then unplug everything, then do a system restore, and clear my cookies and cache, etc. etc. etc.
So now, the FIRST thing I try when a device doesn't connect to a known wifi (even at Starbucks, which is an xfinity hotspot) - is I "forget" the network, and let the device seek out and find it again, and reconnect with my usual password (that works at Starbucks too btw, you piggy back on their wifi, but using your own secure connection).
