The above should work, but you may want to also try adding: group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 (or any combo thereof) If you have a key already then all is good. Use that. If not, something like this will generate you a key: http://www.speedguide.net/wlan_key.php https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm NOTE: Some (older) routers were having problems using symbols, spaces, etc. so it may be easier to try just simple hex alphanumeric characters to see if it works. If you have a passphrase but not the key, then use the name of your SSID and the wpa_passphrase command to generate the key. -- Regards, Mick
