Wireless password for 5GHz "invalid" on Apple devices
« on: August 02, 2015, 02:21:47 am »
I regularly experience my Apple devices (iMac, Macbook, iPhone, iPad) telling me the password is invalid when attempting to connect to the 5GHz network. Seems like it occurs less on 2.4GHz. Anyone else seeing this problem? It's really rather ridiculous and the behavior is only exhibited on the Almond+. When I use the Airport Extreme, it's fine.

I'm happy to share logs or whatever to troubleshoot this problem.

I have done a factory reset and the problem persists.

Apple products usually play well together.
Often Apple products do not play as well with other manufacturer's products.

Having said that, Apple laptops, phones, tablets and more do work well with the Almond+ after a proper configuratuon.

2 things to check, your security/encryption setup, i.e. WPA, WPA2/PSK, etc.  Some security setups work better than others depending on what devices are connecting.

The other thing to check is the bandwidth setting on the 5 Ghz setup.

80Mhz on the 5Ghz and 20/40Mhz on the 2.4Ghz works well for me with a diverse group of Apple products and PC's.

WPA/WPA2 is also working well for me.

This is nonsense. Apple wireless is standard like any other companies 802.11 implementation. I've never had any issues connecting my various Apple devices to public and private wireless networks using 802.11n and or b/g. As a matter of fact Apple products constantly connect with higher throughput and reliability than other devices especially Android products.

The Almond+ is the only device I've ever had issues connecting my iPhones. I also have 802.11AC issues but I'm hoping that this is just a software issue.

Besides the problem 3 or 4 versions back I haven't had any trouble with my iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Apple wireless is not exactly WiFi standard. Pretty sure their stuff isn't certified. The problem is they use things that are in the standard but not implemented  or supported on many routers not made by apple.  Issues with multicast as well as 802.11h/I implementation. And auto switching for 5ghz/2.4g is not smart (even with the spec) and supposed to be handled by the client.

I have an Apple only household, I've had minor issues with the wireless in the Almond+, nothing to complain about. Only lost connection once or twice since I got it.

I use an iPhone 4, iPhone 6, iPad (first generation retina with 3G), and a Macbook pro 15" Retina late 2014 (all devices uses latest possible non-beta software) I mainly use the 5 GHz network, but since the iPhone 4 doesn't support it I've enabled 2.5 GHz as well.

Two things:
1.  The iPhone 4 seems to have problems connecting to a network with other than letters and numbers in the network name. So I had to change the default name.

2. I only use WPA2 -PSK for security reasons. This too, requires a change of the default settings.


So my advice would be to change the encryption settings to WPA2PSK only and see what happens.

Not true.

Apple is good stuff, connects well, but there are well documented compatibility issues with any number of networking products.

Often mixed environments provide networking challenges.  I'm running Almond+ in a couple locations with mixed environments and have not experienced the limitations you describe.

A little more detail on devices and configurations would help in identifying and resolving issues.
As I mentioned, my 5 Ghz setup is wide band, WPA/WPA2 and talks to several Apple devices without issue.

This common meme is too often perpetuated, doesn't even pass the sniff test, and definitely doesn't pass a simple Google search. Apple is actually a sponsor of the Wi-Fi Alliance (https://www.wi-fi.org/who-we-are/member-companies). In fact, all their certified devices can be found here: https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?keywords=apple&op=Search&form_build_id=form-gSBsQY6aajGeNJzoxKsEcaYOtlIqn9VVCCjfHtOHAmU&form_id=wifi_cert_api_simple_search_form.

I'm definitely aware that it's a Fool's Errand to correct misinformation on the Internet, but on this thread it's not gonna carry any weight. Especially in light of the fact that even Securifi acknowledges that the firmware is still being actively developed and issues are being worked out.

Back to my problem. I've configured both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with the same encryption and security settings, yet the 2.4GHz works reliably on all devices and pretty much doesn't work on 5GHz for those same devices. The devices consist of:

iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
iMac 5K (2014)
iPad Air
iPad Air 2
iPad mini Retina
iPad (original)

I'm really less interested in informal recommendations and more trying to get Securifi's attention to use me as a data collection point to identify and ultimately resolve the underlying root cause of the problem I'm experiencing. I obviously have a workaround.

I'm seeing the same issue as Tim, typically on the 5Ghz WiFi network but I've also seen it happen on the 2.4Ghz Wifi network as well. I'm on the latest firmware (R80) and haven't seen this issue for the last few firmware releases until this latest release.

If it's official support from Securifi you want then your best bet is to contact them. Email: support@securifi.com, or call you can find all the numbers here http://www.securifi.com/support. Like most companies it's always better to call or e-mail support then hope they notice a post on the forums, especially with no dedicated support thread

What "security" setup are you using?

Which devices are using 5Ghz?
Which devices are using 2.4Ghz?

What are the configurations of the WiFi?

I would lime to attempt reproduce the issue, which, if I understand correctly, is a matter of accepting the "password".

It is possible to review logs of the attempted handshake and connection. It is also possible to adjust log levels and view more details on the transaction.

You can also run a packet sniffer and see what's going on.

If you are not interested in community based support, as suggested, contact tech support directly.

Fwiw, it's not the Apple isn't "certified", it's the 'extra' stuff they do that often creates issues. Anecdotal information is not the most useful, nor are blanket statements that Apple WiFi connects faster than Android and the like. Chipsets, firmware, OS handling, etc. all play a part. Yes Securifi is working firmware issues, so is everyone else out there, hence the firmware updates, like the one just put out for most MacBook Pros.

I happen to have all the Apple devices you mention, with the exception of the iMac, and several more, that are all connected without issue. Excellent WiFi performance across the board, no password issues, using the config I described previously.

So again, if you are interested in community support, it's here for you. If you want "tech support" from Securifi, let us know how it works out.

...don't forget to check upper case vs lower case password entries. Have seen too many instances of the solution being that simple.

EDIT
If you want to be a data collection point, would be helpful to have specifics:
Device/IOS/Firmware/Freq/Problem

What does "pretty much doesn't work" on 5Ghz mean?
What are the "same encryption and security settings" that you are using?
Might as well describe the SSID and password type being used (characters, length).
