Model: EAP225  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

All my APs are EAP225 outdoor. though, I will replace them all with EAP610 outdoor in near future. I had set my WLAN Network to have OWE security on. but wireless devices shows my WLAN's security as "unsecured" or "open". OWE is supposed to make my WLAN displayed as "Enhanced Open" what did I do wrong?

my controller's version is: 5.15.20.19
my AP's Firmware version is: 5.1.6 Build 20240313 Rel. 43415
my AP's Hardware version is: EAP225-Outdoor(US) v3.0

No OWE is not supported by default on wifi6, it came to some Omada EAPs not long ago, ER706W does not support it yet, I do not know if all Omada EAP6x support it either. so it is something you have to check before you buy. But EAP610-Outdoor and EAP625-Outdoor HD have OWE, I can confirm that. EAP653 and EAP670 as well as EAP660HD also have OWE.

I'm pretty sure the EAP225-Outdoor doesn't support OWE, I have some EAP610-Outdoor and EAP625-Outdoor HD, both of these have OWE at least on the EU Version

@MR.S those are wifi 6 APs. OWE security is supported by default.

 

TP Link said some 2.4 and 5G APs can support it I was hoping if EAP225 outdoor was one of them.

Hi  @Morris211 

 

 

It says OWE is supported by 6Ghz band by default, not EAP6xx (WiFi6 EAP).

One point I want to clarify: not all EAP6xx support 6Ghz band, only those wifi6e EAPs, such as EAP690E, 6Ghz is a new feature from wifi6e.

 

For details, you may have a look at the following:
