I am really impressed with the Access Points so far. Is there any timeline or ability to activate AFC on them?

    Hi @TallyTexas,

    After checking with our team, AFC is only required for 6GHz outdoor deployments. Therefore, NWA130BE doesn't support this feature since it is an indoor access point.

    In addition, we have an upcoming model in October that will support AFC, please stay tuned.

    Hi @TallyTexas,

    Do you mean 6 GHz  Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) system?

    Thank you for answering my question amd providing information regarding a new AP that will do this.

    I do totally disagree with the teams interpretation of only required for outdoor APs as a reason for excluding it. AFC has very useful benefits for indoor use and can be included. All 3 of the New APs from Ubiquiti, the first being the E7 Enterprise (an indoor only AP) come from the factory with AFC active.
