I've been having this issue off and on lately with a number of devices. It happened with the Glo and the girls' Minis, and it also happened with my new Samsung Galaxy phone. With all of those, I had to find the device's MAC address (which you can usually find in settings) and then go into the Wifi network via my computer and add in those devices' MAC addresses as trusted devices. After doing that, they connect with no problem.

I don't know why some devices connect right away and some have to be added manually to my WiFi network.

Edited to add: Also, sometimes I've found if something used to connect to Wifi, but no longer does, rebooting the network modem and refreshing the connection often helps.
