802.11R - Windows 10 with Intel adapters

Hi ,

 

I'm really really really confused about 802.11R. It is currently set as Enabled on a SSID that leverages 802.1X EAP-TLS as auth. 

 

Our Windows 10 machines ( HP 860 G6 ) are currently running the latest Intel drivers AND a ''supported'' NIC ( AX201 ) do not show as '802.11R capable' in the dashboard.

According to the documentation on the Intel website ( https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021562/wireless.html ) 

 

No set up is required on the client (Wi-Fi adapter) side. Fast roaming is automatically enabled on the client with a supported Intel Wireless Adapter on Windows® 10, when connected to a fast roaming enabled Wi-Fi network.

 

 

We currently don't have any issues with roaming but I was wondering how can we leverage 802.11r ?

 

EDIT: We have MR33 , MR36 running 28.6.1 🙂 

 

Thanks ,

I think they just cant get that info from your (windows) devices.

Ohhhhh ! That would explain. 

 

Is there a way to confirm that it is used ? Either client side or via a packet capture ?

If you capture the Association, you can see it there in the RSNE-Block if the client uses 802.11r (small "r") which is shown with the AKM type 3.
