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 :

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....
