Wireless Access

I have a customer who purchased some 635s and 634s for a warehouse/office. The 635s are working great, the 634s will not allow him to enable to the 6gHz radio, I was told if he is on the latest firmware and the AP is loaded into Central he should be fine (10.7.0.1 I believe). It still doesn't allow him to enable 6gHz, but he is close (.5 mile) from a municipal airport and has his address in Central with latitude/longitude. Could this be AFC that is causing him not have use of 6gHz? the antennas he is using are the AP-ANT-311. He has a support ticket open, but they are stumped as well.

A few prerequisites in AOS-10 to check before the FCO service in Central will forward requests to our AFC provider. 

1. Time zone is set to something other than Default UTC-0.
2. AP altitude is set. Currently this must be done through API. Central Automation Studio is the easiest way to use the API without writing code. Add the following to the target group configuration: 
   1. gps
 ap-altitude <meters above ground>
3. Check DRT version.
4. Verify AP is incrementing GPS samples and has calculated an ellipse (this takes 30 samples minimum).

If that's all good, then check what the allowed channels / powers are in the AFC response is via SSH.

If you're still having problems after that. I need the SN to look further.

Useful troubleshooting/verification commands for AOS-10:

schmelzle,

Thank You for the reply. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll get the SN form one of the APs.

This is excellent information!

I wanted to add.  Make sure NTP is enabled as well!!

To enable the 6 GHz radio on access points, the SSIDs must be configured with WPA3 as the security setting. This ensures compliance with the 6 GHz band requirements.

WPA3 or Enhanced Open for the security modes meet the requirements for 6 GHz.
