      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 ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

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

                There is nothing in the firewall log from the WLAN interface (wireless network).

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

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

                    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?

                          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?

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

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

                                      Hmm, well I don't think that hardware crypto applies to WPA2 but try disabling that with:
                                      sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto=0

                                      Unclear if that applies immediately.

                                        Completed, the output was:

                                        sysctl: oid 'dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto' is a read only tunable
                                        sysctl: Tunable values are set in /boot/loader.conf

                                        Of course I rebooted and tried. And only after the failure did I read what exactly he was writing.

                                          Then reboot.

                                            As before, it does not pass authentication. He says that the password is incorrect, but it is definitely correct.
