Hello - I am trying to set up a brand new Wyze camera, and after the QR read while things are processing I get a spoken message from the camera saying “Network Encryption Not Supported”. The connection then times out. I notice that the LED flashes between yellow and blue.
I have searched the forums and Google for this message and nothing is turning up - any ideas?
hello, the error message “network encryption not supported” is indicating that the user is likely attempting to connect the cameras to a wifi network which supports an encryption protocol other than wpa/wpa2, which is what wyze camera require; i.e. wep may be enabled, instead of wpa/wpa2.
No, you lost the wager… I am using a Wifi setup by Verizon FIOS and trying to figure out what encryption I am currently using is not going to be easy. So I guess I cannot use the camera on my network…
Log into the router and select a more appropriate encryption type. They probably default to WEP since it’s compatible with old stuff, and the ISP doesn’t want tech support calls for that.
Disable routing and wireless on that device and install your own wireless router. Any good one will improve speed and coverage over the junk provided by the ISP.
Disable wireless and add another wireless access point of your own. Not really a great solution for most people.
This is the only reasonable thing to do. It’s not just about these cameras; the default WEP encryption is child’s play to break, so your network has a huge security hole.
