macOS connect to ESP32 Weak Security (WPA)

Postby ploegmma » Wed Apr 28, 2021 8:43 am

When I connect to my ESP32-S2-Saola in AP mode, macOS shows a warning "Weak Security (WPA)":

Weak Security (WPA)

WPA is not considered secure. Learn More.

If this is your Wi-Fi network, configure the router to use WPA2/WPA3 Personal (AES) security type for this network.

I have set .authmode = WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK

Why do I get this warning? Why isn't my setting recognized? I can not test WPA3 because "Currently, WPA3 is supported only in Station mode". So, is my setting not working or is macOS wrong? How to test this?

Code: Select all

wifi_config_t wifi_config = {
      .ap = {
          .ssid = AP_WIFI_SSID,
          .ssid_len = strlen(AP_WIFI_SSID),
          .channel = AP_WIFI_CHNL,
          .password = AP_WIFI_PASS,
          .max_connection = AP_WIFI_MAXC,
          .authmode = WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK //WIFI_AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK
      },
  };

    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_AP));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(WIFI_IF_AP, &wifi_config));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_start());

Thank you, that did the trick. I hope such things will be documented.
