Can connect to my university's eduroam but not to my personal network

Hi,

I am using Arch XFCE4 on a Lenovo y50-70. I am a fresh Arch user.
I already asked some friends of mine who are pretty experienced with Arch/Gentoo, but they couldn't help me so far.
So you guys are my last hope

issue:
Whenever I try connecting to my network using NetworkManager it tries to connect a few seconds, then it just returns the password prompt back to me, even though the password is correct (using that one on other pcs/phones).
Eduroam seems to work for some reason.

Please tell me what logs and info you need and I'll get it for you asap. I am new to Arch, so please try to be detailed on which/how to get some logs. Although I am good at googlefu

Thank you very much.

Welcome to Arch Linux. 

First, what NetworkManager client are you using?
What type of network is it?  WEP? WPA-2? Is the SSID valid?  Any strange characters?
What is the output of systemctl list-unit-files  --type=service | grep enabled
Your logs are in the journal.  Use journalctrl -b to read them Edit:  The -b means limit the history back to the last boot

Thanks, but you can close it, I resolved it. I had 2 configs in NetworkManager and misspelled my password on one and it always started it with the wrong password, I had to delete the from config.
