WG102 fails with iPad / iPhone with iOS 6 and WPA2 / AES - urgent fix necessary!
Hello *, * after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2...
- The downgrade to 5.0.1 DOES work. It fixed connectivity with my two IOS 6 devices, my wife's iPhone 5 and my new iPad Retinal screen. It does not appear to have caused any connectivity issues with any other devices to go down to 5.0.1 :)
I just wanted to chime in for those that come across this thread that I can duplicate the exact same problem as the OP - latest firmware on 3 separate WG102's causes failure when connecting iPad 3 and iPhone 4S.
Some other notes (also provided to NG support):
-iPhone 4 and 3GS, iPad 1 and 2 work without issue
-iOS 5.1.1 on all devices works without issue
-security settings, channel, signal strength, ssid broadcast and all other settings have no effect on issue
-downgrading to NG firmware 5.0.2, 5.0.1 and 5.0.0 all work without issue on iPad 3 and iPhone 4S, however, there are other issues with these firmwares so it's not a viable solution
