WiFi STA fail to connect in enterprise AP.

Postby urbanze » Wed Jul 15, 2020 4:53 pm

Hello guys, I need some help with "enterprise" WiFis.

With my home wifi or mobile AP (hosted from galaxy s8), esp32 always can connect correctly and get dhcp ip. However, here in my job (enterprise wifi), esp32 fail to connect OR fail to get DHCP or connect sucessfully. (random)

Please, help me to find WHY (or solution) to solve this problem. I have enabled all wifi log from menuconfig to help debug:

1. Here, ESP32 can connect to WiFi and receive DHCP sucessfully.

Re: WiFi STA fail to connect in enterprise AP.

Any ideia? This make no sense to me. I've seen other reports of this type and I think the problem is in enterprise WiFi, but how to solve it? What can I do?

You probably need to report this issue on github with your IDF version/FreeRadius version and setup settings.
(In my test, the enterprise AP does not work with freeradius 3.0.20)
It's useful if you also provide the RADIUS log messages.
