Android won't connect to wifi when using wpa1(2)-aes

RouterOS Wireless Networking

I am using a RB751U-2HnD and have a big problem with wifi.

Android devices like Huawei U8800 or Novo7 Advanced won’t connect to wifi when using wpa1(2)-aes.
It just tries and tries but connection isn’t established (or is established for a short time, but data doesn’t passes).
With my old router (buffalo WHR-G300N and wpa2-aes) those devices connect just fine.

When using wpa2-tkip android connect to microtik router just fine.

I asked microtik support about this problem, but they doesn’t have any solution.

Tested with firmware 5.21, v5.22rc1, v6.0rc2.

Somebody with the same problem?

Connectivity with Android 4.0.4 and WPA2-AES was corrected in a recent RC. Check this topic http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/rb751u-2hnd-ar5008-lg-optimus-elite-wpa2-psk/59319/1 … Basically need to e-mail support@mikrotik.com and ask for the update that fixes WPA2-AES connection issues with Android 4.0.4. I had no problem with WPA-AES, so, perhaps you have a different issue.

I asked mikrotik support about my problem, but they doesn’t have any solution.

also another suggestion is to use that new v5.22rc1 and on the Android device clear the saved SSID and create a new one for this AP.

I’m on v5.22rc1 and this suggestion doesn’t solve my problem.

I have upgraded android on my device to 4.0.3, but wifi problem when using wpa2-aes still exists.

It looks that hardware in this device doesnt like wpa2-aes proposal from mikrotik. It works fine with wpa2-tkip.

Removing the old profile on the Android didn’t help?

Please enable the wireless,debug logging enable only wpa2-tkip, connect to the AP and make the support output file.
Then enable only the wpa2-aes try to connecto the AP and make the support output file.

No, removing old profle on android tablet didn’t help.
I have sent support files to Mikrotik support - subject: [Ticket#2012101766000394] RB751U-2HnD and wifi problems

Stumbled upon same problem, on RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN, my first RouterBoard device. Had Linksys before. All devices connected to RB2011 with the same settings as on Linksys (SSID, WPA2-PSK, AES) except Navon Plarinum lowend Android tablet. I tries to connect with no succes, on AES. Works on TKIP. Android is 4.0.3.

Any solution found to use it with AES enabled on RB?
