wifi7 connection problems with iphone 17
i have a rs700s i just got the iphone 17 pro max its supposed to connect wifi7 but wont i have a galaxys25 ultra that connects no problem ive worked with apple tech support and they suggested a...
(Caveat: I have no personal experience with WiFi7.) However, it appears that using WiFi7 requires WPA3.
This might put the user in an awkward situation:
- Many devices are not capable of WPA3 and will be left unable to connect if the security level is WPA3 only.
- Perhaps the Samsung phone can distinguish that these security settings are "ok" and the iPhone balks at the combination.
It might be an interesting experiment to temporarily change the WiFi security setting to WPA3 and "see what happens"
- If the iPhone still refuses to connect as WiFi7, well that was a dumb suggestion. sorry.
- If the iPhone will connect with WiFi7, but other devices have problems..... (oh dear).
Might be an interesting 10 minutes.
Can you provide a screen capture of the top portion of the Galaxy 25s showing the WiFi7 icon there. Also same for the Apple Iphone as well.
Thank you.
Actually, I did find some screenshots from the ultra. I took when I was working with Apple tech-support earlier.
