MPC Series | Wi-Fi Connection Fails with WPA3 Enabled Router

Wi-Fi capable MPCs are not currently supported for use with WPA3-enabled Wi-Fi networks. Attempting to connect an MPC device to a WPA3-enabled network may result in a failed connection.


For a secure connection, please connect your MPC device to WPA2-enabled Wi-Fi networks. In most cases, the WPA protocol can be changed by accessing your Wi-Fi router settings. Please connect with the manufacturer of your Wi-fi router for more details on accessing and changing your Wi-Fi security protocol. 


WPA2/WPA3 Transitional or Mixed Modes

MPCs may be able to connect to Wi-Fi networks set to a WPA2/WPA3 "mixed mode". This will allow each connected device to use the protocol it supports. 


In order to use a mixed mode, the PMF (Protected Management Frames) must be set to "optional" status. MPC devices will not be able to connect if PMF is enabled.
