WPS fails on OpenWRT 24.10 with authentication failed

grzesiczek1 · April 12, 2025, 8:40pm

Hi All

I am running OpenWRT 24.10 on GL-INET MT6000 and have issue with an old Samsung M2020 printer that only supports WPS wireless connectivity. I have been trying multiple IoT network settings but with each it fails, at some point, with "authentication failed - EAP type: 0 (unknown)" error. It did work before on a custom pesa build based on snapshots but since moving to 24.10 release I cannot make this setup work.

All help or pointing in a right direction will be greatly appreciated. Not really keen to replace printer at this moment

Wireless configuration:

Whats the point of 11r on a singular AP past potential interop glitches?

HP claims opposite, it has usb config tool and a panel with buttons to enter wifi password.

Should have RTFM Thanks, indeed there is after connecting via USB and logging to the portal. I could provide wifi settings and it connected. Why WPS failed guess I will never know.
