Installing and Using OpenWrt

I didn't try all combinations but it works with PSK2, when ieee80211w is 0.
Here is the complete definition.

config wifi-iface 'radio0_wifi'
	option device 'radio0'
	option ft_psk_generate_local '1'
	option ieee80211r '1'
	option ieee80211w '0'
	option key 'mysecret'
	option mode 'ap'
	option mobility_domain '1d64'
	option nasid 'E89F80FED583'
	option network 'lan'
	option ssid 'mywifi'
	option ieee80211k '1'
	option bss_transition '1'
	option wnm_sleep_mode '1'
	option time_advertisement '2'
	option time_zone 'GMT2'
	option reassociation_deadline '20000'
	option ft_over_ds '0'
	option encryption 'psk2'
  • sae-mixed and ieee80211w 1 works
  • psk2 and ieee80211w 1 not

I am facing same issue, my iOS devices were sometimes connecting sometimes not. They were saying that the password is incorrect even though it was correct. After i changed from mix mode to only wpa2 they started to work normally.

Thanks for this! Iā€™m on 23.05 and iOS 16 and this is still an issue. It even affects my M1 Macbook Air.

However, swapping to WPA3 sorted it and got all my clients back on the network.

Router: Linksys WRT1900ACS with OpenWrt 22.03.2
I noticed this issue just with an iPhone12 (iOS 17.2.1) meanwhile an iPadPro (iOS 17.2.1) and an iPhone8 (iOS 16.7.4) can connect with WPA2/WPA3.
My laptop had the same issue (Ubuntu 22.04LTS). After going back to the Wifi-Driver wpa-supplicant of the Ubuntu 20.04LTS it is connecting with WPA2/WPA3.
