Every time i put my home wifi WPA-2 password, it says connection problem...is there any tricks to connect my infotainment system to my home wifi? 

Your home WiFi is definitely set to WPA2? Can your mobile connect too?

 

 

Normal password of wifi router that's what i used when car was asking for network key (WPA-2).. Yes it can connect to my mobile hotspot.

Hi, the question is can other devices connect to the same network to which your infotainment system can’t?

 

If yes, most likely the info system doesn’t support something the WiFi network has.

Try changing the encryption type or security type to WPA.

You might want to change your network security key as it's now in the public domain?

It's only half of the equation, he didn't post his SSID

Also, it would take some really dedicated person to drive all over London to input that password into every visible SSID.

 

He should be super safe 🤞

 

p.s. You are right though about leaking personal information into public forums, we should turn off Meta/Facebook immediately 😆

Given the amount of scraped data allegedly available on the Dark Web it is very unlikely to need physical searches as you suggest, complacency is what makes the task of hackers easier which is why we are constantly being advised to keep passwords out of the public domain and to, where possible, change them regularly.

 

Facebook makes a huge amount of its income from selling personal data, so should be regarded as untrustworthy IMHO.

You've yet to convince me of that today, most danger comes from website logins that have a username as your email address, and then some sheeple put in the same password for the lot.

All it takes is a lapse in concentration to input both into a forged website, and then you are caught, they can then login to all the usual places (gmail/amazon/meta etc) and scrape your address and person pics etc.

 

I still don't get how having a WiFi password and SSID alone would narrow down your home address, a leap too far (or I need more coffee)

Hi, leave WPA2 but try changing encryption type from AES to TKIP, AES is newer and sometimes devices have issues connecting.

There is no other encryption type to choose from

Did you try decreasing the security type to WPA? It’s incompatibility with the network, either security or encryption type.

there is no WPA option. WPA-2 enterprise, WPA3-Personal, enterprise..such and such

WPA-2 enterprise

No WPA-2 Personal?

What's the Difference Between WPA2 Enterprise and WPA2 Personal?

WPA2 is the latest security protocol developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. There are two versions of WPA2, Personal and Enterprise. Both use a strong encryption method called AES-CCMP to encrypt data transmitted over the air. The main difference between these security modes is in the authentication stage. WPA2 Enterprise uses IEEE 802.1X, which offers enterprise-grade authentication. WPA2 Personal uses pre-shared keys (PSK) and is designed for home use. However, WPA2 Enterprise is specifically designed for use in organizations.
