Connections to older WAPS fail after adding wifi6 capable AP
I replaced 1 (of 3 EAP225 controllers with an EAP625, I wanted the extra bandwidth when moving large amounts of data between laptop and NAS.
The setup is a single site / default group with 3 SSIDs in use and all SSIDs were tagged to use 2.4 and 5Ghz.
I can no longer connect to the EAP225s on 5Ghz from Windows, Fedora or Android phone.
Devices appear to authenticate with the WAP (SSID), but DHCP appears to fail and eventually devices fail over to a 2.5G only SSID
I have a clunky workaround:
- setup a new SSID and set it to 2.5Ghz only, using this SSID everything connects to any WAP OK - but obviously bandwidth is fairly limited.
