Iphone 17 failed to connect Guest Wi-FI

[jaseemtt]

iPhone 17 fails to connect to the guest Wi-Fi (PSK)when it comes within range of an AP250, but it connects without any issues when it is within range of an AP410C. what could be the problem if anyone know this. I have manually set similar working AP (AP410C)channel and channel width to non working but no luck. only iPhone 17 fails and iPhone 15, 16 works.

I have manually set similar working AP (AP410C) channel and channel width to non-working but no luck. Only iPhone 17 fails while iPhone 15 and 16 work. If you need a quick lookup for technical terms or Wi-Fi configuration jargon, Visit Meaanings for detailed term guides.

This is likely a WPA2/WPA3 transition mode or PMF (Protected Management Frames) setting mismatch unique to the older AP250 firmware. Capturing the client debug logs on the AP250 while trying to join should pinpoint the exact drop reason. For any hardware or mobile device troubleshooting outside of network configs, having a go-to spot like Phone Repair in Loughton is super handy. Hope updating the AP software does the trick!

Sounds like an AP250-specific compatibility or firmware issue rather than the PSK itself, especially since the same iPhone 17 works on the AP410C. I’d compare the AP250’s firmware, radio/security settings, and client logs against the working AP410C; updating the AP250 firmware would be my first step.
