inSSIDer 5.4.0.0 displays the No Security icon for my networks (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) while it should be WPA2-Personal, as it is configured on the router.

What could be the reason for this, and how can I fix it?

Hi [dartal2](https://community.oscium.com/u/dartal2),

Hmm, are you able to send over a .pcap of your environment under **File \> Export Summary** to [support@metageek.com](mailto:support@metageek.com) so that our team can take a closer look?

Can you also provide the make/model of WiFi adapter you are using? I mainly want to verify that it is compatible with that encryption type, as inSSIDer normally has no issue with WPA2:

Hi @casey,

I’ve sent you the .pcap file.  
My Wi-Fi adapter is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 (according to Device Manager).

Also, I figured out that if I select either **Disabled** or **Required** for the **Protected Management Frames** setting on the router, then inSSIDer displays **No Security**. But if I select **Capable** , then it displays **WPA2 Personal**.

Hi  
Have the same optical icon problem with inSSIDer 5.4.0  
Adapter is Intel WiFi-6 AX200  
Router is Asus ZenWifi -6 AX6600 XT8 AiMesh

When Protected Management Frames are Required, optical icon is yellow NoSecurity  
From router, security sends WPA2 (PSK(SHA256))

When Protected Management Frames are Capable or Disabled, optical icon is green WPA2 Personal  
From router, security sends WPA2 (PSK)

The problem is, I have 2 units AiMesh and with Capable or Disabled  
then the AiMesh is instable and loses sometimes the connection

The option Required makes yellow NoSecurity, but this only a optical error  
Please, inSSIDer technican, let the WPA2 (PSK(SHA256)) also shine as green  
I think, thats correctable in the program with next version (hopefully)

Thaks in advance

Hello  
Have the problem, that two channels will display inSSIDer yellow no security icon  
So enclosed screen of WiFi-Scanner to help you find the programm problem  
You see the two channels will have authority WPA2-PSK-SHA256  
Hope this info helps Ludwig
