I am trying to set this CF-WR619AC up. I am disappointed it doesn’t have WPA3. You have firmware versions that claim to support it.

The biggest problem is every time I try to connect any device (PC, several Apple devices) via wifi I get a “Network security key isn’t correct” error. I know it’s correct! Besides having used on my old router, I have even copy and pasted it between the wireless settings screen and the device. I am using WPA2 – AES. Does this thing actually work? I can see the RF signal on the Wi-Fi Scanner app. But I cannot connect to it.

Can these be returned for a refund? If I need a newer model to get WPA3 will I be credited with the cost of the model I bought? (It’s not like it was sold with a warning that WPA3 was not supported!)

Don’t use an apostrophe in a the WiFi key! I found out the hard way.

Slightly off topic – by preference I have 5 GHz enabled and 2.4 GHz disabled. The blue light on the front panel for 2.4 GHz (to the right of the 5 GHz light) is on and 5 GHz is off. Mislabeled? Can’t find a Chinese router made by people who read English?
