Dan_Nicolet, Thanks for your input and testing time. I have changed the shared key to a very simple word, rebooted the AP's. User testing, no change unable to authenticate with mobile devices, specifically Apple Iphone. THe AP is connected to a cisco 3750 via PoE power packs. THe switch port was initially configured as a trunk because I want a vlan for guest and another for corporate. but for the purpose of testing I configured the guest ssid with very simple settings. after encountering all these connectivity issues I changed the switch port config to access mode. I cannot see how that would impact the authentication, however I gave it a try. Rebooted AP's after switch config change and still no change. HEre is the error shown in dashboard: type='WPA-PSK auth fail' associated='false' radio='1' vap='1' I feel like I need to wipe out the AP configs and start again.. if after doing that no change, the next step is a tac case.
