I just set up a new wireless mesh network and am trying to connect my Apple MacBook Air to the new network. The mesh is being added to my existing non-mesh network. I connect fine to the existing network, but when I try to switch networks to the new mesh, it asks me for my password and when I enter that, it's asking for a WPA2 password.
What's up with that?
Hello brettgow,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that your MacBook Air is unexpectedly requesting a WPA2 password. We're happy to look into this with you.
