[Discuss] OpenWRT Change WiFi Password

[Craig Miller]

Hi Murray,

Not all devices know how to do WPA3. I ran into this at the last NetSIG, 
where some couldn't connect to the wireless.

I changed the Wireless->Edit (your SSID)->Wireless Security 
tab->Encryption to WPA2 (any of them should work) in LuCI. Then the 
folks at NetSIG could connect.

I hope this helps,

Craig...
