Can connect to all networks except home Wi-Fi

I am unable to connect to my home Wi-Fi running WPA2-PSK [AES]. I am able to connect to the Wi-Fi in my apartment at college (although I don't know what authentication it uses) as well as the college network (which uses enterprise security). The error message "No secrets were provided" will usually pop up after the connection attempt fails. I am using NetworkManager, although I have tried Wicd and Connman as well without success. I had this problem before when I was running Ubuntu and Wicd mostly fixed it, although I would sometimes have to try multiple times before a connection was established.

I have searched for solutions, but most people seem to have issues with enterprise Wi-Fi, not the other way around. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Do you have trouble connection to this access point with other devices as well?

Unfortunately I don't have any other Linux machines to test with, but various Windows laptops as well as my Android phone connect without a hitch. It should also be noted that I previously had Windows installed on this same laptop and it was able to connect as well.
