WPA2 TKIP Fails

matteovinci · October 27, 2019 at 5:12 AM

So I was trying to connect relatives Kodi box to network.

2G wifi with WPA2 TKIP connection failure

I changed network to Open and the Kodi box connected.

I'm assuming perhaps this is an earlier hardware model? Or has Kodi on Raspberry Pi always supported WPA2?

Looks like on this model that wifi is on the board, as the only USB item connected seems to be for the remote control (verified by unplugging and remote stopped working)

Please advise what further information you may need to assist.

In the meantime the Kodi box has been turned off and wifi put back to WPA2 TKIP

RPi3 and 3B+ have on-board WiFi and it's not brilliant at reception. There are no specific known bugs or things in the OS to exculde support for WPA2, but you might have a bad connection. Use Ethernet or a WiFI > Ethernet brigde if possible. Use some kind of USB external WiFi device if you're forced to go wireless. Or experiment with positioning.
