Here's the issue I had...
On my wireless access point during the setup process, I typed in a "passphrase" and in turn the access point generated a hexadecimal "key" from that passphrase.
Once set up, for every laptop or device I have connected to my wireless network in the past, I have used the hexadecimal "key" as the password on the laptop when connecting to the wireless network.
In the case of the Tesla, it would not connect in this fashion, but as soon as I typed in the entire original "passphrase" then it connected right away...
