Hi All,
Ok, just as an update on this. As per rplant’s suggestion, I got hold of an AP lite that was running 6.49.10. I set this up so I can simply use it to program the Aircons and the Printer with the correct SSID and Passphrase over WPS - and it all worked! I now have all of the devices on the correct SSID without having to use the Apple Airports.
Main take aways are:
- The HAP AX lite on factory firmware or latest firmware isn’t working with WPS over these devices. I’m not sure if this is a firmware thing (the HAP lite was running a much older version), a driver thing (the HAP lite uses the older driver package, not qcom) or an actual chipset thing. When I get a moment I will update the HAP Lite to the latest RouterOS and see if WPS still works. My hunch here is that WPS is broken for a lot of devices on the AX.
- Some Wireless APs use a randomised passphrase rather than the SSIDs standard passphrase when using WPS (looking at you Apple Airports). This all appears undocumented - I can’t find anything on the net that describes that some APs do this.
