Wireless Access

My environment is two 7205 controllers and 170 AP-615's. I am currently trying to get the 6ghz band to work.

For testing I have an AP group of 4 AP's , OS 8.11.2.0,   and a new SSID using WPA3.  Devices can connect but the max I am getting is 5ghz.   They are Windows 11 and have compatible cards.

Does anybody have a similar environment with success ....  or does anybody have any thoughts?

"show ap bss-table", you for sure are seeing BSSIDs operating on 6 GHz?

Screenshots of the 4 AP's with the 6 band SSID  ........   there are BSSID's ....

What client and driver version? Have you changed any default driver settings?

The clients are Windows 11 (required)  ..... a few of my devices have Intel 160MHz  wifi cards in them with the latest drivers .... and another of my clients has a MediaTek  160MHz wifi card in it.   

I have tinkered with the driver settings in my testing for each and had no luck. 

The MediaTek one actually  has a setting where you can choose to only show the 6 Ghz band broadcasts and as I expected it didnt list any SSID's when I set it to this.

The screenshot above suggests that you run Windows 10. I've not been successful to connect to 6GHz with Windows 10, and when I upgraded to Windows 11 it worked right away. You mentioned that your clients are Win 11, but the screenshot shows a 10.x version....

Do you have a modern mobile phone that supports 6GHz to test with? Using another device may help to find out if there is something with the AP or the client...

Its Windows 11 ... not 10.

I am well aware that Windows 10 does not work with the 6Ghz band.

The 615 is a flex dual band AP. By default it is set to use 2.4 and 5 GHz. Please ensure you've set the flex dual band mode in the AP system profile to a mode that includes 6 GHz. https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_8.11.0_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/access-points/conf-ap-syst-prof.htm#Configur

I would also check to make sure you've enabled 6 GHz on the respective VAP as 6 GHz is not enabled by default. You're looking for the Allow 6 GHz band option. https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_8.11.0_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/virtual-ap/conf-vap-prof.htm?Highlight=virtual%20ap
