Hello,
I've got a Sonim XP8 that I'm trying to connect to my new Netgear CAX80 router. Got the router all setup, all other devices at home connect fine. Except my XP8. It won't even try. I click the network, type in the correct password, hit connect, then nothing. It just shows up as "Saved" now. It connects to a Wifi 5/AC network just fine. It connects to the Wifi 6/AX network fine when no password is used. However, as soon as a password is added, snake eyes.
Has anyone run into this issue with any other phone or another Sonim?
Went through troubleshooting with Sonim and AT&T to the point of a factory reset of both devices, reconfigured both, then AT&T decided to replace my XP8. The new one has the same issue. I feel as if it has something to do with the newer authentication methods that Wifi 6/AX is capable of, and Sonim/AT&T has not updated the XP8 Android version to work with it yet. I also did try to talk to Netgear about it... though after the third time of be told that I don't know that I'm actually connected to wifi, even though I wasn't, gave up with that route.
Many thanks for any help.
