BE200 trying to use WPA3 when WPA2 is selected

LP-E8 — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:47:33 GMT

After explicitly setting WPA2-Personal when manually configuring a WiFi connection. In the Windows Event viewer you'll see that Windows is trying to make the connection using WPA3-Personal, even though WPA2-Personal was selected. If wireless network does not have WPA3 enabled, the device will fail to connect to network.

Only occurring in Windows 11 24H2, does not occur in 23H2.

This issue is NOT present on driver version 23.40.2.1 or older.

All driver versions 23.60.1.2 and newer seem to have this issue.

Hello LP-E8,

Thank you for posting on the Intel Community Forum. The details you provided are greatly appreciated, as they helped us narrow down the issue. May I know if you were able to perform a Clean Installation of the latest driver 24.10.0?

Additionally, please share the additional information below.

1. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed in your system, or have you changed/installed a new adapter recently?

2. Does this happen with multiple different WiFi networks, or just specific ones?

3. Kindly share the Event Viewer logs.

I look forward to your response.

Best regards
