I can connect to the Internet using Bluetooth
I have been going through my junk box and wanted to see if I could get
any use out of a few old items.
(I have AT&T Wifi)
First is a Pinebook someone gave me and I just did a factory reset and
it seems to work except for wifi.
It says "connected but no internet."
Funny thing is, after it does that, the internet may work just fine for
a few days, then later may stop working for days at a time with no
reason I can figure out.
I also have tried several versions of Linux and
have experienced no problems with internet but the performance running
off an sd card is a bit slow.
Second is an old Samsung Galaxy 3 phone.
Again, a wifi problem. I cannot get it to connect. The only error I
receive is "authentication problem."
My router and the phone both use the same protocol, so I am stumped. To
make sure it was a not a password issue, I purposely tried a wrong
password and as expected got the "wrong password" message.
I can connect to the Internet using Bluetooth however,. so I know
basically the phone is working, but the performance under Bluetooth is
quite poor.
Any ideas would be appreciated....this is of course nothing critical. Probably going to give this stuff to me grandson to fool with.

Router only supports WPA3
and phone is WPA2?

That would be a rare beast.

Had a Vigor router and mesh AP setup for mixed WPA3+WPA2, working
happily with both Android and Apple devices, until a few weeks ago, when
the Apple devices all refused to connect, have had to disable WPA3 ...
which is odd because Apple devices were moaning about insecurity due to
lack of WPA3 a year or more ago.
Not tried latest Vigor firmware yet.

I don't know how this old phone is. I did wonder whether its version of Android might have expired or missing certificates or ciphers, but I doubt
if that would affect authenticating a wifi connection.
