Home Wifi not added to saved network on Android

Also, I called the Tmo support line and chatted with 2 different folks for over an hour and it was very unhelpful and extremely frustrating. They didn't seem to understand the problem and gave me textbook steps to "forget the network" even though that isn't possible as my device won't add it to my list of saved networks. 

I also find it surprising that there isn't more people having this issues with over 1 million subscribers at this point. Nobody else out there using Pixels or .. they are all fine re-entering their passwords 5x a day?
