WIfi Handshake invalid

Hello Folks,

Question: What could cause the WiFi to have so many handshake error?

Configuration

  • Sophos is providing the WiFi - UTM 9.701-5
  • WiFi has AES enabled only
  • Fast transition is disabled
  • No special character in SSID name

I do see clients connected. It seems to work fine from our client feedback. However, I want to understand and fix those messages.
I read on other post that could come from SSID invalid characters, Fast transition or having TKIP + AES. Therefore I am wondering why do we have those messages in WiFi live log. It shows a many failed connection attempts.

 

Note: MAC and Wifi name changed. WiFi SSID is only 3 letters.
