Trouble with NWA130BE

wifikid

Hello,
I have a NWA130BE Access point, I have updated the access point to the latest firmware I found V7.10 . I am having difficulty connecting the devices to the 6GHz band, I have even kept the radio for 2.4GHz and 5GHz to 0dBm with a channel size of only 20MHz but still I find my clients attaching with 2.4GHz and 5GHz instead of 6GHz where I have 320MHz channel and a radio radiating 30dBm. Only point when I have the radios for 2.4GHz and 5GHz turned off I find the clients moving to 6GHz band. Is there a setting or feature I can play around that might help. Even I have tried the load balancing option but still no help. Kindly help!

Hi @wifikid ,

If you want clients to connect only to the 6GHz SSID, you should disable the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands completely rather than adjusting their power settings.
Even when you set the maximum output power to 0 dBm, clients may still connect to 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs because these antennas have their own gain values.
