Actual behaviour
I use a banana pi r4 with openwrt master, i build the images myself. When i go to the wireless overview, it says on Encryption: - which should be WPA2, as it is wpa2.
Expected behaviour
That it shows the correct encryption
Steps to reproduce
- Get a banana pi r4
- install openwrt master on it
- configure the wireless with encryption turned on
- check the overview

I also dont understand why i have so many radios ;)
Don't know the history here ...are you using the be14 card? If so it should be only three.
Can you do a 'iw dev'?
I would suggest to do a 1. backup of your wireless config... 2. delete the wireless config file and then issue 3. 'wifi config ' & 4. then use luci to config & validate you still have the same issue.

after deleting the config file und wifi config it looks like:
after configuration, it looks like this now:
thanks!! :)
I have no idea what caused that wierd behaviour... guess i played too much around. I always used luci, maybe some race condition or so. If i am able to reproduce that, i'll reopen that bug. Thanks again, really appreciate that!
I reopened it because i have it now too. I use rm /etc/config/wireless && wifi config, then configure the 2.4ghz with minimalistic settings, then the ac network with minimal settings and then i have this wierd behaviour. my mobile phone is connected to that phy and internet works as expected.
minimal settings = defaults from wifi config, just modified the password and set the encryption to wpa2
this is an iwinfo issue ... the luci function formatWifiEncryption invokes iwinfo
iwinfo shows encryption unknown for SAE-MIXED on my card
is anyone having the issue with something else than sae-mixed?
iwinfo shows this on my wifi5 network:

in luci it shows the oli5 ssid but not the encryption, this is not a mixed enc , its wpa3 only

interesting, also is on the phy0.1-ap0 that I see the encryption unknown
This is likely the same issue as https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/7584 - I found the root cause there
In my case iwinfo shows Encryption: SAE / WPA-PSK / WPA-PSK-SHA256 (CCMP) but in Luci I see "Encryption: -" for this AP, I would expect to see "mixed ..." instead.
On the same radio there's another AP with Encryption: SAE (CCMP) and it shows correctly in Luci "Encryption: WPA3 SAE (CCMP)"
If I swap the order of the two APs in the /etc/config/wireless file, only the first one shows the correct Encryption, the second one is always "-". The APs themselves work as expected, it's just a Luci display issue.
