Greetings all

 

 

 

I have had this set up for a week now and it is working well, however I ran into a snag today

 

 

 

Both my KOBO Mini and an iphone 4s that i use for streaming podcasts won't connect at all to the new network.

 

 

 

What i have tried.

 

 

 

Rebooting router

 

Rebooting Wifi

 

turn wifi on and off on devices

 

turn bluetooth off/ make sure airplane mode isn't on/toggle it to see if it makes a difference

 

Reset network settings on iphone 4s

 

reboot both devices

 

 

 

Thats about it

 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

Have you set the network to WPA2/WPA3 mixed as those devices likely don't support WPA3?

 

Have you enabled both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz?

Hi Guys

 

Well wpa2/wpa3 mode is set

 

2.4ghz is on

 

 

 

rather frustratingly my wireless configuration page looks different from that in the manual
