[SOLVED] iwctl works well with every wifi...except mine

Hi, I have a funny problem with iwd, it works perfectly with every WiFi except my home's WiFi...it actually had worked before I've changed the WiFi's name. I don't think it is a WiFi problem because every other device works perfectly after the name change.
I've tried to reinstall and nothing as changed, I also tried with

known-networks Budino forget

, but nothing has changed (except now it ask me the password)
the error message is a generic "Operation failed"

Do you have only 1 network manager installed?

Was 'Budino' the new name, or the old name?  Try forgetting the old name.

Budino is the new name, the old one was some standard barely readable alphanumeric name...anyway a had already tried do forget the old name, but it still not work

Hi! I understood where, probably, the problem was. I had noticed the modem has never been stopped since the renaming, so I assume something went wrong in the modem itself.
Now everything works fine.
