Not able to create a WPA2 network with a Cisco Aironet 2700 series model

[andreasoc]

Hello,

I flashed a single Cisco Aironet 2701 (Cisco AIR-CAP2701l-E-K9) with a Standalone/Autonomous image.

If I create an open WiFi I can connect to it and I get an IP-address. So far, so good. but if I try to set up a WPA2 network, my Windows Client always tells me that no connection is possible with this network. It does not even ask for a password, I get directly the error message. I followed this youtoube intruduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwuWsGGofT4

Can someone tell me what could be the error?

Are you able to share the show run from the CLI or a screenshot of exactly what you have configured.

Can you also share the error message from windows.

Also take a look at Rasika's blog it might help you configure it

Have you updated to the latest Intel driver?

[andreasoc]

are you kidding me? XD 

It works now.

The current driver was relatively up to date (updated last month). But with the new drive update it worked, I never thought that this is the fault.... I spent a lot of hours in this.... thank you very much XD

[Rich R]

Glad that worked - step 1 always update to the latest driver!
