    Windows wifi connection MFA authentication 5s timeout, can I increase it?


    Hi,I have a problem, that I want to connect to a wifi network with MFA auth. When I click to connect I get an push notification on my phone from authenticator, but windows timeout after 5 seconds and I dont have time, to accept the auth request on my phone. If I try to connect to the SSID from phone no problem, it's works fine. Can I increase from 5 seconds to about 10-15s? Thanks for help,Balazs

    :)

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hello.

    Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

    I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

    Cheers.

    Your password does not matter - Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) does

    Windows wifi connection MFA authentication 5s timeout, can I increase it?

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hi, thanks for replying.

    No, that's not what I meant.

    Windows 7 has a built-in ability to create a virtual wifi connection, provided that the PC is equipped with a wifi adapter - basically, the PC acts like a router for all the other devices.

    You access that particular ability via cmd window ( netsh wlan set/start/stop hostednetwork ).

    However, the virtual network that Windows create is always secured with WPA2-Personal type of authentication, and the device that I'm using to connect to this network has particular "distaste" for WPA2 security method ( basically, I get disconnects followed by constant reconnects every minute or so ), while on wifi networks with WEP authetication it works just fine. I've tested this thoroughly and I always had problems on networks with WPA2 type of security method.

    Basically, I need a way to force windows 7 virtual hotspot to use WEP authentication instead of WPA2.
