WIFI Wave2 WPA2/WPA3

Thu Apr 14, 2022 11:39 am

Not sure if anyone else has this issue.

Running wpa2-psk/wpa3-psk on a SSID causes constant disconnects +- 10 - 15 minutes. (tested ROS7.3)

Tested clients are iphone13, iphone13 pro and two macbooks (everything on latest software updates), unfortunately no other devices to test with

config is very simple
/interface wifiwave2
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] configuration.country="South Africa" .mode=ap \
    .ssid="i dont know" disabled=no security.authentication-types=\
    wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] configuration.country="South Africa" .mode=ap \
    .ssid="i dont know" disabled=no security.authentication-types=\
    wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk

I have an Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G who doesn't connect at all when using WPA2/WPA3-PSK with wifiwave2. Also pretty simple config.

I also have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G which can only connect with wifiwave2 when only WPA2 is enabled. With WPA2/WPA3 or WPA3 only it will result in "Incorrect password".
All other WPA2 clients are able to connect (older iphone, Windows, Linux laptops) and a single Windows WPA3 compliant laptop can connect without problems.
Older 2.4GHz only devices connect fine with WPA2 even when WPA2/WPA3 is enabled.

I don't have any other devices nor access points to test whether its a problem with the phone's drivers or Mikrotik, but for now I'm forced to turn WPA3 off.
If anyone has wifiwave2-capable mikrotik (or other vendor) equipment and Samsung (or other) phones with Android 12, they could test to see whether the issue is with Samsung, Android, Mikrotik or some kind of combination between them.

My equipment: hap ac3 with RouterOS 7.2.3 and wifiwave2 package - working as an access point and a bridge (no routing)
Phone: Samsung A52s 5G Android 12 (May 2022 security update)

My phone runs fine with WPA3 enabled on other AP i have from Unifi. So must be something with the drivers from Mikrotik and Samsung. Incorrect password is what I also get on HAP AC3. Other devices I have, such as an OPPO Reno 5 5G phone with Android 12 and some HP & Lenovo laptops work fine with Mikrotik's wifiwave2 and WPA3. So for the moment there is nothing we can do, but just to wait for an updated version from Mikrotik and/or Samsung.

I reported the bug to Mikrotik Support with various logs and it seems they have posted some kind of fix for it in 7.3.1.
I won't have time to check it out today, just letting you know.

Hi. I've just installed it on the router and everything works as expected. Kudos to Mikrotik for the fix-up.

I have two devices: Samsung Galaxy S20+ and S23 Ultra. WiFi has WPA2/WPA3 enabled only, and it's dual-band setup (same SSID). Works like a charm, but _sometimes_ when I enter home I see no WiFi on the phones, after checking it shows 'incorrect password'. But if I tap on the network, it immediately connects, proving that password in fact is OK.
This behaviour is on wifiwave2, cAP ax is the AP and RB5009UPr+S+ is the main unit ruling AP via CAPsMAN. RoS is 7.11.2, and all packages as well.
Does anyone has the same issue?

EDIT: I turned off WPA3, issue vanished.
