Requests wrong RSN group cipher

Hello,

I have setup capsman with hap ac^2 devices and a couple of devices connect fine to the wireless network(s).
However my macbook seems to be triggering one odd thing… “2.4Ghz-AP_Basement-1-1 rejected, requests wrong RSN group cipher”.

Google doesn’t say much about that - what can I do ?

Thank you

same problem

same problem also to me:

@planetcaravan:

Please dont use tkip as cipher if you are using only wpa/wpa2.

Set encryption=aes-ccm and group-encryption=aes-ccm and check if that solves your problem.

@others:
We need to see your configuration. Otherwise we are just guessing into the blue which doesnt help you and just wastes everyones time :wink:

Edit: Just saw this is an older thread. So just ignore the second part..

Is it ok?

/caps-man security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk encryption=aes-ccm group-encryption=aes-ccm \
    name=chiave passphrase=b1122334455m

As far as i can say: yes. You most likely need to re-provision the clients.

Ps.: Your wpa-passphrase is visible in both of your posts. You maybe want to remove it.

Thanks for answer.
The password was fake.
Do I have to remove wifi settings on the clients and add again to the network?

I dont think this will be necessary on your client-devices (smartphones, tablets, computers and so on) but on your mikrotik cap-clients. Restarting the caps should be enough. You can always check if the changes have applied on your capsman with the command

/caps-man actual print detail

I’ve changed as you suggested:

/caps-man security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk encryption=aes-ccm group-encryption=aes-ccm \
    name=chiave passphrase=b1122334455m

but still got this RSN error:

12:46:08 caps,info D4:F4:6F:BA:01:D6@A-2GHz connected, signal strength -68

12:59:51 caps,info 30:35:AD:AC:28:08@B-2GHz rejected, requests wrong RSN group cipher

Does the actual-interface-configuration show the applied changes? Can you please try to remove the network from one of these wifi-client-devices (for example the apple device 30:35:AD:AC:28:08) and readd it? Just to make sure we are not running after a ghost :slight_smile:

Just did what you said. Let’s wait!

I have the same problem:
Have 2 devices: RB4011 and wAP AC.
on 4011 log:
caps, info . wAP AC 5g: rejected, requests wrong RSN group cipher

I’m use only WPA2 PSK and aes ccn encryption
