The above should work, but you may want to also try adding: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
(or any combo thereof) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |

If you have a key already then all is good. Use that. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
If not, something like this will generate you a key: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |

| 42 |
|
| 43 |
https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
NOTE: Some (older) routers were having problems using symbols, spaces, etc. |
| 46 |
so it may be easier to try just simple hex alphanumeric characters to see if |
| 47 |
it works. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
If you have a passphrase but not the key, then use the name of your SSID and |
| 51 |
the wpa_passphrase command to generate the key. |
