Note

The World-Wide Universal Access Points 6 GHz radios support only the following Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network authentication methods:

OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption) for Open Networks
WPA3-Personal (SAE/H2E)
WPA3-Enterprise

ExtremeCloud IQ requires that your 6 GHz radio network assignment be WFA 6E compliant. ExtremeCloud IQ rejects network configuration changes that result in 6 GHz radio network assignments that are not compliant. It might be necessary to redefine your networks when configuring the 6 GHz radio on the Universal Access Points.

For the AP3000/X, before changing the Radio 1 configuration from 2.4 GHz to 6 GHz, ensure that the AP is assigned a 6E WPA compliant network.

Note

For all Extreme NetworksAPs, use the Extreme Networks certified ACC-WIFI-MICRO-USB console cable. Other MICRO-USB console cables have not been certified by Extreme Networks.
