WPA3 not working on TL-wr1043NDv1

I Installed Openwrt 19.07 (OpenWrt 19.07-SNAPSHOT r10357-4fb6b8c553) on TL-WR1043ND v.1 and wpad-wolfssl_2018-12-02-c2c6c01b-7_mips_24kc.ipk and libwolfssl19_4.1.0-stable-1_mips_24kc.ipk. When I try setup WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode or WPA3-SAE after saving setup I have not informations about AP Status. Client on TL-WR1043NDv3 cannot connect with its. Client have set WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode. When I set WPA2-PSK on AP - Client can connect with its. What I do wrong? Setup was made in LUCI.

Is this specific to WolfSSL or does another library work?

I didn't try openssl because it takes more place

ping @cotequeiroz

when I type ping @cotequeiroz
I get
ping: bad address '@cotequeiroz'

I try openssl too - it's not work

When you mention a member in a post they may get notification @bsxx

Ok, sorry, I didn't know

Can you post your config file for wireless? I'm using wpa3 mixed at home for several months now no problem.

@lantis1008 does WPA3 work on the wrt3200acm?

Didn't try it, i'm running a r7800 at the moment and sold my wrt3200acm. I can try a wrt32x later on.

my config is
/etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path 'platform/ath9k'
	option disabled '0'
	option noscan '1'
	option legacy_rates '0'
	option country 'US'
	option txpower '24'
	option hwmode '11a'
	option channel 'auto'

config wifi-iface
	option ssid 'OpenWrt'
	option device 'radio0'
	option key 'mykeyaaa'
	option mode 'ap'
	option network 'lan'
	option encryption 'sae-mixed'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option hwmode '11g'
	option path 'platform/ahb/180c0000.wmac'
	option htmode 'HT20'
	option country 'US'
	option legacy_rates '1'
	option channel '7'
	option txpower '24'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
	option device 'radio1'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'OpenWrt'
	option wpa_disable_eapol_key_retries '1'
	option key 'mykeyaaa'
	option encryption 'sae-mixed'

It works on archer c7, but not work on tl-1043nd.

Certainly looks fine...

When I downgrade to openwrt 18.06.4 and install full wpad-wolfssl I cannot choose WPA3. It isn't in menu.

The openwrt-18.06 branch doesn't (and never will) support WPA3, it's new in master and openwrt-19.07.

I haven't played with WPA3 at all yet. My newest router is a WRT3200ACM, and I'm not sure it is compatible. Considering the fact that it is not working with either openwrt or wolfssl, I would imagine that the problem is not the ssl library--I'll definitely change my mind if you have it working with mbedtls. I'll give it a try as soon as I find some time. If I have news, I'll post here.

I have a TL-wr1043nd v1 running a recent 4.19 snapshot working somewhere as Wifi-Client with WPA2. If i install wpad-mesh-openssl on it, I have the WPA3 options in Luci. I selected "sae-mixed", and the device reconnected. (With WPA2 off course, but the option was accepted, and saved to the config)

I have second router tl-wr1043nd v3 - it works as client and when I set WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode - It works, but When I try to setup Access Point on tl-wr1043nd v1 with WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE Mixed Mode it show wifi network is not connected instead information about WPA mode Signal strenght and so on
I tried wpad-mesh-openssl and libopenssl too, and it is that same.
I reset wireless config and set new configuration - it didn't help
config:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/ahb/180c0000.wmac'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option channel '7'
        option txpower '24'
        option country 'US'
        option legacy_rates '0'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option key 'mykeyaaa'
        option wpa_disable_eapol_key_retries '1'
        option encryption 'sae-mixed'

On tp-link archer c7 v5 WPA3 works.

It will work on a wrt3200acm snapshot with hostapd-full openssl. It all depends on your wifi driver I think.

Seems fishy that the wr1043nd v1 has a draft-N Wi-Fi chip? Maybe the chipset is problematic.
