|
|
Hello everyone. It's been nearly half a year since my last post, so if I get something wrong, my apologies beforehand.
I have two routers in my house to provide a strong Wi-Fi signal in different locations. The problem is that my laptop can't connect to the router with the strongest network. It's detected by iw wlo1 scan, but nmcli and even wpa_supplicant cannot see or connect to it. Here is the results of the iw wlo1 scan, if needed.

My Wi-Fi card is an Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW [Stone Peak] (rev 10) , and it uses iwlwifi.
Everything else regarding the Wi-Fi card works great, if not slow.
Thank you in advance for reading this somewhat long post. _________________ Nirbodha = idiot |

There are 2 choices. 1. Change the router settings to disable wpa or 2. rebuild wpa_supplicant with the TKIP USE flag. |

Thank you for the response.
Unfortunately, the rebuild of wpa_supplicant hasn't changed anything for my laptop. _________________ Nirbodha = idiot |
