SOLVED_SOLVED_SOLVED The problem is fixed now!
There was a compound issue of mis-labeled notes as to what the router access password was and the encryption key password was. My lack of routine use of these kind of items meant I didn't catch the 'obvious' difference between the two based on size of the character string! This fixed the 'invalid password' obstacle, but restarting & waking from sleep still lost 'auto-login'. There were a string of Campground 'Access points' they had used over the winter clogging up the auto-login 'try' list in the network control panel. Our home network was like #15 in the scroll list! I dragged it to the top and voila all is well upon boot-up and wake-up.
