  • 1.  9240 Controller's Radio Effectiveness to AP-655's PSU and Wireless Users don't attached to 6 Ghz band

    Posted Nov 23, 2023 10:47 PM

    Hi I am Chang, Aruba Korea's Reseller Partner 

    My customer uses 9240 controller(OS 8.10.0.8 LSR) and AP-655 for their office wlan infra.

    I want to know which one is better to avoid radio interference, enlarging user's through put, small load and less damage to AP-655's Power, and so on

     1. Enable All Radios 6, 5, and 2.4 Ghz band

     2. Enable two radios 6 and 5 Ghz band  (disable 2.4 Ghz)

    and actually I enabled 6 Ghz Radio Band, but wireless terminal devices don't get attached to 6 Ghz (exactly "6E"), but only 5 Ghz

    please give me the reason why and how to fix it ( I heard band-steering is not supported)

    Thank you

    Do those wireless terminal devices support 6ghz?  If not, they will not be able to see it.

    Did you set the WLAN to use WPA3?  6 GHz requires WPA3.  Run "show ap bss-table" from the controller to validate the AP is creating a BSSID for 6 GHz.

    If 6 GHz is broadcasting and your device doesn't see 6 GHz as an option, the problem is with the client.

    Actually, I had my WLAN set to WPA3, but, I saw LDAP auth server and aruba 9240 controller were still using WPA2 key in the command output 'show auth-tracebuf'

     does this practically affect to wireless terminal device to use 5 Ghz?

    my phone is Galaxy S23 Ultra that supports WiFi-6E

    The client device decides which band to use.  Did you verify that there is a 6 GHz BSSID?
