Hi,

[quote user="hmojito"]I really have difficulties to understand why you cannot, when your official documentation is pointing that the chip is supporting WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security...[/quote]

Please see my colleague's explanation in this post.

[quote user="hmojito"]Another question, do you have knowledge about the possibility to use WPA2-Enterprise (especially EAP-TLS) security mode with this module? Nordic told me few months ago that this feature was in development but I can't find any information.[/quote]

Support for WPA2 and WPA3 Enterprise mode is currently not available. Please get in touch with your RSM for the timeline.

RSM:
It supports WPA3, which is better than WPA2, do you want to test the samples?

I really have difficulties to understand why you cannot, when your official documentation is pointing that the chip is supporting WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security...
And it's a technical issue that the feature you say is supported doesn't actually work. So please give to the community a real answer about how to solve it and to be in accordance to your main product page brief:

WPA3 Personal and Enterprise

Hi,

We cannot discuss any plan/schedule/roadmap on the Devzone.

Please contact your Regional Sales Manager (RSM) for the feature support. If you don't have RSM's information, please fill out the form of Sales related questions.

Hi Amanda,

Do you have idea when would nRF7002 support WPA Enterprise security?

Best Regards.

Hey, Amanda! Is this what you mean? I searched for the Security type and Encryption of the wifi of the University and it is this one.

Do you mean the Enterprise Security (EAP-TLS)? If so, nRF7002 doesn't support enterprise security yet.

Hi, Amanda,

Thank you for your reply! I could connect to a wifi network that had WPA2-PSK, but my University`s wifi has EAP security. I was wondering if the nRF7002 supports EAP, and if yes, then could you please help me the command to do so? I have the SSID, which is "eduroam" but, to be able to connect, I need to insert my username and a password so, in this case, I am not sure which is the format.

Kind regards,

Raluca

Hi,

The format is decided by the application running your device.

From your previous case, I see you are going through the Wi-Fi Fundamentals course. If you are using the wifi samples of https://academy.nordicsemi.com/, the command for connecting to a Wi-Fi network is

wifi_cred add "<your_network_SSID>" WPA2-PSK "<your_network_password>"

See https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/wi-fi-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-2-wifi-fundamentals/topic/lesson-2-exercise-2-2/
