Does not connect to WiFi when country changes

Hardware UNO R4 UNO R4 WiFi
1

My R4 UNO WiFi was working fine in USA. I could see it online in IOT Cloud. But when I moved to India it fails to connect to my home WiFi though I started all over again and entered the new WiFi credentials and the secret key . The board seems to work with Non Wifi sketches but not with WiFi. It repeatedly gives error "Fails to connect to Bhoomi (name of my WiFi) retrying after 500 ms" . Can anyone help..?

I face exactly the same problem when I moved from USA to India. My R4 UNO WiFi was working fine in USA and I could see it online in IOT Cloud. But it fails to connect top my Home Wifi here in India and gives the same error "Fails to connect ...retrying after 500 ms ". I have entered my WiFi credentials and the secret key correctly.
I would like to know : 1. How to read the WiFi Credentials stored on the board.?
2. How to download the sketch from the Board to Laptop to look at what has been uploaded to the board.
Waiting for Arduino support.

I have merged your cross-posts @ks5084.

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

My issue resolved. ! I tried connecting to my android phone as hotspot and also kept a simple password without any special characters. I was delighted to see my UNO R4 WiFi board come online. Now I need to investigate why it did not connect to my Home Wifi which had one special character #.

My issue resolved after I removed special character # from my WiFi password and also used my Android phone as Hotspot. I was delighted to see my R4 UNO WiFi Board come online at last.

Very good. If you get the time, write a "lessons learned" and step-by-step solution so the next person can independently solve their issue.
