Firmware Version: EU_1.0.5

Hi Guys,

 

I am having an issue with WIFI connection to Deco X73-DSL. It will not connect using ANY security options: WPA2-PSK [AES] + WPA-PSK [TKIP] WPA2-PSK[AES], WPA3-Personal.... it will not connect and gives a password error - Could's connect. Try again. The password (pass key) is correct. I have tried many devices to connect with same error. A brand new iphone etc, laptops, raspberry pi, etc, all have the same issue. This is the testing that has been done.

 

1. If I use WPS to connect through the Deco app I can connect a Win 10 laptop

2. If I use security none for a WIFI connection it also connects

3. If I use the Guest Network with no password (passkey) it also connects

4. All have the latest drivers for WIFI on my devices

5. I have ensured that I have forgotten WIFI devices before I connect.

6. Fast Roaming is off.

 

Is this a firmware issue?

 

-Phil

Welcome to the community.

I believe there might be some typos here and it sounds a little paradoxical.

It will connected using ANY security options: WPA2-PSK [AES] + WPA-PSK [TKIP] WPA2-PSK[AES], WPA3-Personal....

it will not connection and gives a password error - Could's connect

 

Or were you trying to say, It could connect a minute ago but failed to connect and reported a password error the next minute?

Wait for your reply.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

It will not connect using ANY security options: WPA2-PSK [AES] + WPA-PSK [TKIP] WPA2-PSK[AES], WPA3-Personal.... regardless

but will connect with WPS and no security options.

 

At no stage will WIFI connect with security options enable.

Thanks for the update.

I searched around and there hasn't been such feedback on Deco X73-DSL about its security.

Have you ever tried to log into Deco APP and manually changed the password to all numbers maybe, no space or special characters, like # $.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
