Wireless works, but only without password

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hello,
I am using a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 with OpenWRT 22.03.5.
The WLAN works only if I do not use password encryption. If I use only WPA2-PSK or mixed the smartphone tells me "invalid password" every time...

I tried a lot, SSID removed, reboot, frequency change, password change, country change, other smartphones, etc.
Same problem with 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios.

Do you have any idea?

Did you have a look here?

Yes, but also with WPA2 it doesnt work...

Did you find a solution?
I’m in the same boat. Without a password I can connect fine. With one, nothing but “Wrong password” errors from clients trying to connect.
I’ve been through all the same steps, delete, reboot, add, etc.
I’m running my latest OpenWrt instance on a Pi4.

So far not.

Try switching to 5GHz or 2.4GHz; whichever is a change.

If that does not work, delete the station, reboot and add it back.

9

What cipher are you using with WPA2 wifi security? AES of TKIP?

Anyone found a solution? I have same model Same issue
