WiFi - 6E - SSID not showing in 6GHz but showing in 2.4GHz and 5GHz by Ulises Cázares
Hi, the other day I was testing an Aruba AP 635 configuring an SSID to show in the 3 bands and apparently everything looked fine because I connected my laptop to the SSID but after a few connections and reconnections I noticed the laptop only connected either to the 2.4GHZ and 5GHz SSIDs but never to the 6GHz.
Reviewing the configuration of the AP, I made sure the 6GHz radio was enable so something else should be the problem.
After reading about requeriments for 6GHz I noticed that WPA3 is Mandatory and my mistake was that I had configured the security as WPA2 which is not allowed in 6GHz. Once I changed it to WPA3 my laptop was able to connect in the 6GHz radio.
So whenever you're working with a 6GHz SSID make sure the following is configured:
Security must be: WPA3-PSK or WPA3 Enterprise and for an open SSID you must use Enhanced Open so the packets are encrypted between the client and the AP.
Hope this helps
