  • 1.  iOS 17.4 and AP21 firmware 2.9

    Posted 03-18-2024 11:04 AM

    Hi, I'm using AP21 with firmware 2.9.

    I've configured a Employee Network with PSK.

    When I'm connected I'm seeing an alert on the iOS that the WiFi network is not secure. If i click the info icon I see "wep is not considered secure".

    I've tried both "WPA2 Personal" and "WPA2 + WPA3 Personal", but with the same result.

    Why do I see the WEP message? Does this happens to you too? I'm unable to check if the AP really broadcast the SSID with WEP security.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Peter,

    I also use WPA2+PWA3 Personal and don't have the problems. However, I have two ideas that may be the reason.

    Firstly, you may have used a password that is too weak. Apple probably checks the password quality.

    Secondly, Apple has been working with the "private WLAN addresses" service for some time. I have switched this off on my smartphone and always get a warning message because of this.

    Maybe that will help you.

    wishes

    Hi Ryder,

    tried with strong password and randomized Mac enabled, but same message.

    Are we pretty sure that for some reason AP is broadcasting WEP and not only wpa2-aes?

    Is there other people having the same WEP security alert message in iOS?

    thanks

    Deleting and recreating the network from the Aruba portal, fixed the issue.

    very strange! Hope this can be useful for someone
