iOS devices won't connect to R7800 (dd-wrt)

[Steve1985]

Hi,

I hope someone here can help me.

Both iOS devices (iPad/iPhone with iOS 10.2) can't connect to my R7800 with Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r31120M kongat (01/10/17) anymore.

They keep asking for the password even if i give it in correctly. The encryption is set to WPA2 AES.

The 2.4ghz band has no issues at all. But with 5ghz the iphone/ipad cannot connect whatever i try. My iMac had the same issue but after a router reboot that seems to be fixed now.

Any advice?

Make sure the SSID and WPA passphrase doesn't contain any non-ASCII characters...

Not sure from where you downloaded the DD-WRT v3.0-r31120M kongat, but the latest build is available on the myopenrouter site:
https://www.myopenrouter.com/download/dd-wrt-kong-mod-netgear-r7800-factory-dd-wrt

Note that this build has some specific caveats, ie., LED behavior cannot be controlled...

I had a similar issue with that build, but I got it working by setting 2.4 band to "Auto". On 5.0 I set it manually to channel 149(congested 5.0 band). Might want to try to change your 20-40 settings to see if it helps. If your using 80 they may not be able to connect.
I had many problems with DD-Wrt so I went back to stock.
I am testing voxel's firmware now. It is very fast and seems quite stable at this point!
I had a hardware problem with my 7800 which was very promptly replaced by NG support. I was using a R7000 till my 7800 got replaced, but when I put the 7800 back on, it increased my speed tremendously.
