I know this sound very technical if you don`t work in the field, so my suggestion for you is to get an old router that still support Mixed-mode in the configuration of wifi security to have the old device work.
I spent years troubleshooting wifi and sometime you need to dig down to the wifi trace capture to see why the devices cannot connect.
But I can understand why Helix does not support the old Mix Mode, because of newer security concern TKIP is less secure than AES and some certification like Wifi-Alliance kind of make mandatory AES.
I totally understand your frustration, if you need more help just ping me on the forum.
","body@stringLength":"1795","rawBody":"Hi, I might have a theory on why your devices don't want to connect to Helix 2.4Ghz, I worked many years 10+ on wifi at HP/Aruba network in the firmware, my theory is the Helix 2.4Ghz only support WPA2-AES only (both unicast and multicast traffic require AES encryption), there was an old mode that we call WPA mixed mode, with TKIP (old **blip**py WPA1) and AES (WPA2 new good), the reason that \"**blip**py\" mixed mode exist is to support old devices that can only either do TKIP or AES for unicast and TKIP for multicast.
I might confuse you here but on the Helix router, you do not have the Mixed mode, it is not configurable.
I have a wifi sniffer and I can confirm that the Helix only supports pure WPA2-AES.
