Openwrt WP3 Devicess!

i have openwrt and i enabled the wpa3 with wpa2 and optional management frame protection. why iphone user cannot connect to my wifi when i enable management frame protection?

Several commercial clients do not like mixed modes at all, this is a client-side bug and not on the OpenWrt side. However as you generally can't fix these clients, you can only configure OpenWrt in a way the clients prefer…

This means either WPA2PSK/ CCMP only, no 802.11w xor WPA3SAE (with 802.11w) only and no 802.11r.

The only compromise here is setting up different vAPs/ SSIDs, one WPA2-only, one WPA3-only (either simply bridged together or with different policies).

Again, the bug here is not with OpenWrt (commercial OEM firmwares are facing the same issues), but with the clients - those would need fixing.
