      Hi @Francesco-Jacomel ,

      This is an example of our WPA supplicant used at the factory during setup:

      # Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted.
      ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
      update_config=1
      
      network={
      	ssid="Foo"
      	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      	pairwise=TKIP CCMP
      	group=TKIP CCMP
      	psk="Bar"
      }
      wowlan_triggers=magic_pkt
      

      These got things connected on our network. I've not dug into the params myself though so 'use at own security risk' 😉

        @Francesco-Jacomel Are you rebooting your RB5 Flight after modifying the wpa_supplicant file?

          @modaltb It's the pretty same as I have here. 😞 I've tried keeping the pairwise and group for some attempts but also didn't work.

            @tom Yep, after any change on the file I'm rebooting.

              @Francesco-Jacomel Are you able to connect to any WiFi network? i.e. your home / office network?

                @tom I've tried two different networks so far, one from my company so a firewall might be affecting the connection attempt through WPA, other using my iPhone Hotspot which is WPA2 so I'm unsure whether this might be an issue. I'm setting up a new one with no restrictions (no firewall, no wpa2).

                I'll update here accordingly.
                Thanks

                  I've set up a new network with very few restrictions and now it is connected to the network! Thank you very much for your support!

                    @Francesco-Jacomel Great! Thanks for investigating that, our test network is fairly open security-wise so we hadn't run into that issue.

                      Not to necro a thread, but if you're using WPA2 you need to supply a country code at the top of the wpa_supplicant such as

                      # Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted.
                      country=US
                      ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
                      update_config=1
                      
                      network={
                      	ssid="Foo"
                      	psk="Bar"
                      }
                      wowlan_triggers=magic_pkt
                      

                      I was having trouble connecting to our local internet until I did this.
