FS#4179 - wpa3 not stable on a Linksys WRT3200ACM in "dumb AP"-mode #9160
Comments
Bjornkj621: Wireless channel in WPA3 mode only does not work at all. Super-stable in WPA2 mode ======How to recreate problem====== |
Bjornkj621: ======Same behaviour in mixed wpa3/wpa2-mode====== |
hnyman:
No. Forum is full of threads discussing that. One of the main reasons is the broken 802.11w (PMF) support. And the development of the mwlwifi driver and the closed-source firmware blob has been stopped by the manufacturer, so there is not much hope of improvement... |
Bjornkj621: Thanks for the update! One ought also make it visible for Linksys their closed source is a blocker for successful use of wpa3 on their boxes. Linksys used to be outspoken on their positition v open source. If you cannot get wpa3 going on certain Linksys boxes they ought not to be at top in (shallow) articles. BR Björn |
Bjornkj621: ======A possible next step====== BR Björn |
Bjornkj621:
Supply the following if possible:
Device is configured as dumb AP.
When wireless-security is configured as wpa3 the device is not stable.
Sometimes I can connect over wifi. Sometimes not. From same wifi station (PC running W10 Pro). Tried 2 different pcs (different hw) -- same behavior.
Sometimes the wifi AP running openwrt 21.02.1 hangs -- the connection thru wired ethernet dies. I am forced to power-cycle the device.
Super-stable when using wpa2. I have been using openwrt since 19.07.7
I believe I can quite easily recreate the problem although I cannot provide a script (defined steps).
