Wi-Fi: laptop yes, phone no

[Johnwick 0]

Wi-Fi connection is functional on the laptop but unavailable on the phone. This discrepancy suggests a device-specific issue rather than a network-wide problem. DirecTV provider Troubleshoot by restarting the phone, toggling Wi-Fi on and off, and ensuring the correct network credentials are entered. If the problem persists, reset network settings on the phone or contact the device manufacturer for further assistance.

The authentication is done in software, I really wouldn't expect the card to make any difference there. Assuming it connects at all.

I would try using only hex characters in the pass phrase. Been a while since I've hit that though.

I don't understand why if you make the network open, then everything works. I set the password to "hello123", but it didn't help with different settings. I even tried the password "123456789" with wpa2.

Mmm, the fact it connects fine unencrypted implies the problem is entirely in the authentication. That should all be in software so I wouldn't expect the wifi device used to make any difference.

Do you see anything logged when the Android clients try to connect?

There is nothing in the firewall log from the WLAN interface (wireless network). Where else can I watch?

(You should see a association before the authentication part begins)

When my Android Smartphone connects I see this in wireless log:

So, there is no problem what so ever.
The "WPA" (password etc) is ok.
But then :

login-to-view

RADIUS: starting accounting session 665BCC0E11586A5E

Where did that came from ?

[stephenw10]

Because it's configured for WPA Ent I imagine.

I dont know - I have no Radius Server set up.

If Ent means "Enterprise" then its not - its WPA2 with Pre-shared Key and AES

[stephenw10]

Huh, interesting. Checking....

and where exactly do you see these statistics? Status \ System Logs \ System \ Wireless connection

Exact there! (Highlighted)

Yes I see the same.
You should also see it in Status > Wireless

It took me a moment to realize that the most recent ones were from below. Here's what appears after trying to connect from your phone:

not in the form of a picture, antispam does not allow you to write

I see there:

EAPOL-Key timeout

and I interprete that like the Authentication is not coming from your device - is that smartphone logging in correctly in a other access point?

[stephenw10]

Also I assume if you login from the laptop the logs look the same as we see?

It connects to all other Wi-fi points from the phone without problems.

This is what I see when I connect from my laptop:

Possible the phone is restricted to WPA3 only? Other APs you tested against are WPA2?

Currently connected to a wireless network with WPA2-PSK

What driver is that using? rtwn(4)? Is that USB or PCI connected?

What does sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto show?
