WIFI connection troubles

[Vlad Ruzov]

I have changed my location and was not able to connect my EV3 under mono to the new WIFI network.
The reason was that the router was using WPA2 with AES encryption but current version of MonoBrick firmware can establish connection only using TKIP encryption.
Since yesterday I spent an hour before I realized the cause of the problem I decided to write this post assuming that this info can be helpful for others.

The previous built worked good with WPA 2 and I can’t think of a reason why someone should take the function out.

Max, I would like to clarify that connection work with WPA2 but only with TKIP.
One of leOs team memeber mentioned this issue here:

Hi Vlad

Thanks for pointing this out so others don’t spend hours trying to get the WiFi connection working. We will look at this for the next image release.

I would like to report that with new SD card image (created 22.08.14) both AES and TKIP WPA authentication work properly.
The reason of my issue was that I used the old image.

Great thanks for the information. Good luck…
