Hi,

my fritz!box (6360) wlan works fine

automatic channel 2.4GHz
WPA2
40MHz channel
SSID hidden

with other wlan-devices, but my jolla

second replaced device
1.1.4.28 (all previous firmware-versions have the same error)

has connection problems.

Sometimes it connects immediately and sometimes it can't see the whole wlan-cell.

Workaround:

Only deleting the wlan-profile on my jolla, restart "network" and stop Android runtime with jolla util and reconfiguring the wlan-settings helps (sometimes I need several times to have success).

Do you know any hints for a solution?

Regards

do you hide your network? i got the same error sometimes on an fritzbox 7230 with hidden wlan, but only there. it never happens on 7390 or 7490.

Yes, my wlan-network is hidden.

ooh, sorry i've overread... ;) my case i sometimes have only to enter the ssid again and press the connect button to get an working connection, without deleting the network config for the wlan. but that's also no real solution.

No problem ;) , I edited my question^^. My workaround^^ works, but this is no real solution.

The problem is the hidden SSID broadcast, which unless you have very specific reasons to hide the SSID then I would suggest re-enabling it.

Basically hiding the SSID broadcast is an anti-security and anti-privacy feature that causes your device to broadcast your SSID wherever it goes, and potentially allows rogue APs to get your device to try and connect.

You're already using WPA2 so as far as wifi is concerned that's as secure as you need to be short of using some kind of radius authentication.
