Can't connect to WiFi AP using Rabbit code

Rabbit Rabbit Software

I have an Amped Wireless brand WiFi Access Point (SSID-“BackTwo2”) and an Amped Wireless brand Range Extender (SSID-“Repeater1”). Both are setup with WPA2 and AES. My Rabbit connects to the RE, but not to the AP. I can connect to both using Windows 7 on my PC and on my Android SmartPhone using WPA2 settings.

I have tried multiple combinations of settings for BackTwo2, but nothing worked. Both WiFi units are from the same manufacturer and both use the same settings in Win7 & Android, but only 1 works with the Rabbit. Any ideas?

Hello, If both settings are same in the access point, may I know, why did you mention encryption types are different in the above macros (IFPARAM_WIFI_ENCR_CCMP, IFPARAM_WIFI_ENCR_TKIP).

I recently found and fixed a bug in the Wi-Fi library, related to mixed-mode WPA access points (ones using both TKIP and AES/CCMP).

You can replace your WiFiG.lib with the one from GitHub, or follow the instruction in the README on downloading and using the latest release available on GitHub.

Since I am using AES2, my understanding is that ENCR_CCMP is the correct setting and that is what I use for REPEATER1. In trying to connect to BackTwo2, I tried CCMP and it didn’t work, so I tried TKIP. Still didn’t work. Actually I tried every combination of almost everything, and nothing worked.

Thank you. I copied the WIFIG.Lib from GitHub and will look into it. As far as I know, my entire network is AES/CCMP, certainly the AP and repeater are. Would this mixed mode bug affect me? Also I checked my copy of WIFIG.lib using the same path as shown in the GitHub document “lib cpip\wifi”. All of my wifi lib files are in binary except for the copyright text header.
