Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2020 If you come off the interface then it is normal for it to re-ask you to login. Depending on the browser used this may be more or less frequent than you'd prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2020 You're talking about WiFi? It sounded like you were talking about the interface password. Are you using mirror mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2020 Are you using Adblocker or Traffic Controller at all? Adblocker may be enabled by default, could potentially be blocking it all though it is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2020 Could be the newest update, which is why it is only this device. Potentially QoS is seeing packets from the device and dropping them. Disable QoS fully from the Congestion Control 3 line option menu and see if it works then please.

Newfie Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 What’s your security protocol ie.WPA2? There are one or two reports that’s it’s asking for password and seems to be just the odd device. I just updated to IOS14.2 so worth checking if you are up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPA-PSK (AES): This uses the original WPA protocol, but replaces TKIP with the more modern AES encryption. ... WPA2-PSK (TKIP): This uses the modern WPA2 standard with older TKIP encryption. This isn't secure, and is only a good idea if you have older devices that can't connect to a WPA2-PSK (AES) network.You need to be on WPA2-AES for the strongest encryption or if you had a AX device is WPA3. You are probably using WPA2-PSK (AES) as there is no WPA-PSK2 (AES) the only WPA is WPA-TKIP which is years old.https://www.howtogeek.com/167783/htg-explains-the-difference-between-wep-wpa-and-wpa2-wireless-encryption-and-why-it-matters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
