    We are currently running a PoC for Wireless access using an ArubaOS 8.7 deployment.

    One of the key features that we must support is WPA3-Enterprise.
    Unfortunately our test is failing, and the client sees the network as WPA2-Enterprise even with the latest build of Windows 10 and recent Intel AX210 drivers.

    On the Aruba side I can clearly see that the 802.1x WPA3 opmode we need is ignored by AP-505's but supported by AP-515.

    But... The datasheet for both of them clearly shows the same support for WPA3.

    Does this mean we cannot use WPA3-Enterprise at all on our AP's?
    Or can we expect support for 802.1x with WPA3 very soon on the AP-505?
