Hardware • Debian 12 KDE Wi-Fi connectivity issue with Intel Centrino Wireless N-230

Hello,

So it seems to be something to do with your ASUS TUF AX-3000 V2 access point and the way the wireless adapter authenticate or associate with it.

You can try to get more information during wpa authentication and association by running wpa_cli as root in a console with the following command:After started the wpa_cli program, enter the following command:It should output some data (status, wireless interface, wireless networks).

Then, with the wpa_cli program running in the console, you can try to connect to your AP.

Details of the connection (and diagnostic messages) should appear and will be logged.

Typing quit on the wpa_cli command line terminates it, and the commands and their output are logged in a file called log.txt.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Finally I figured it out: on the router the authentication method was set to WPA2-Personal. When I switched it to backward-compatible WPA/WPA2-Personal the connection was made without any problems.

I assume that this old Intel Centrino adapter does not support WPA2.

I've seen now your previous post.

I'm glad you sorted it out.

Please, mark the discussion as "solved" manually adding the text tag "[Solved]" at the beginning of the subject of the first message.

Thanks.

Happy Debian !
