I’m having issues connecting my Raspberry Pi 4 to my wifi network. I have 2 radios, both on WPA2. Screenshot of my openwrt settings below. What settings do I configure for the dietpi-wifi.txt file? Do I have to do WPA-EAP instead? If so what do I fill in? It was minimal setup on my router for WPA2.
# Entry 0
# - WiFi SSID: required, case sensitive
aWIFI_SSID[0]='Wireless'
# - WiFi key: If no key/open, leave this blank
aWIFI_KEY[0]='
# - Key type: NONE (no key/open) | WPA-PSK | WEP | WPA-EAP (then use settings below)
aWIFI_KEYMGR[0]='WPA-PSK'
# - WPA-EAP options: Only fill if WPA-EAP is set above
aWIFI_PROTO[0]=''
aWIFI_PAIRWISE[0]=''
aWIFI_AUTH_ALG[0]=''
aWIFI_EAP[0]=''
aWIFI_IDENTITY[0]=''
aWIFI_PASSWORD[0]=''
aWIFI_PHASE1[0]=''
aWIFI_PHASE2[0]=''
# - Path to the certificate file, e.g.: /boot/mycert.cer
aWIFI_CERT[0]=''
I ended up switching one of my WiFi settings to be WPA-PSK on the router for the 2.4 band, so I’m setup and running on that.
My question is how can I connect to my 5.0 band network that now runs with WPA2/WPA3? It seems like only WPA-PSK security works and nothing higher with just using a password
I tested it with my RPi3B+ without issues. I created an unique 5GHz WiFi using WP2/WPA3 and could connect with the RPi using WPA-PSK without issues. The RPi was connected using WPA2.

Hey so I tried changing my 2.4 network to be WPA2-PSK and that worked fine… but I still can’t connect to my 5.0 network on WPA2.
I tried switching my 5.0 network to WPA-PSK and that connected fine, but WPA2 I’m still having issues.
What am I missing? Below are the 2 commands you ran:

I’m having a new issue on this now, I wanted to flash the beta 64 bit build on my Pi 4. I can’t connect to wifi with just putting my wifi name and password, I’m on WPA2 channel 36 for the 5.0GHz
How do I specify my wifi channel 36 in dietpi-wifi.txt file when setting up wifi for the first time?
