Wireless security/encryption not shown in luci (Flint GL-AX1800)

Hello,
I’ve just received my Flint AP and I’ve started to play with it, as I’m going to have 3 SSID on different vlans from my main router, I’ll have to configure it mostly with luci.

On the main web gui the wireless security is enabled:


And I can choose between the different WPA2/3&co options:

If i then go to luci it seems that there is no encryption enabled:


and I can’t event set it to WPA2 or 3:

There are the relevant config files:

From stock config I only did these changes:

  • Init Wifi with SSID “AX”
  • Set network mode to Access Point
  • Enabled luci

I got the same result with stock firmware 3.205 and now I’m ruinning qsdk-ax1800-3.206-1008.img

Thanks

Luci may not be fully compatible.

Can you check the encryption by connecting to the SSID?

the actual encryption matches what I select on the standard web interface, but this make luci quite unusable :frowning:
