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 -

I see there:
EAPOL-Key timeoutand 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?

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.hwcryptoshow? -
@stephenw10 said in Wi-Fi: laptop yes, phone no:
sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto
If you run "Diagnostics \ Command Prompt" here, then the output:
dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto: 1
-
Hmm, well I don't think that hardware crypto applies to WPA2 but try disabling that with:
sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto=0Unclear 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.confOf course I rebooted and tried. And only after the failure did I read what exactly he was writing.
-
Yup run:
echo dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto=0 >> /boot/loader.conf.localThen reboot.

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

Running
sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcryptoshows it's correctly disabled?Hmm, I didn't really expect that make any difference in WPA2 unless it had a broken AES/TKIP implementation perhaps.
Do you have an older Android you could test with? I'm not aware of any particular issue with Android 14 but I don't have a device to test with right now.

I don't have it on my hands, but I'll try to find it and check it out.

You're right, it connects to android 4 phones without any problems. There are problems with Android 13 and 14 from different manufacturers. What can I try to do?
-
Hmm, well that seem like a clue. Perhaps some deprecated cypher is preventing it? I'm not sure how you might change that though. Can you test with anything else? An iOS device perhaps?

To be honest, it was difficult to get a phone with android 4. I can check on another laptop. iOS probably won't be available.

Did you try setting 'WPA Pairwise' to TKIP or both instead of AES?
