MR57 and MR56 roaming when 6ghz is enabled.

[WTorres]

Good evening.

I have a network with mixed MR56 and MR57 APs using WPA3 authentication. I am considering enabling the third radio (6GHz) on the MR57. However, I am not clear on what would happen to my clients when they roam from 6GHz to 5Ghz radio.

Can someone provide some insight on this?

Thanks in advance.

I would consider having a separate SSID for 5 GHz.

Thanks for your input. We have considered using separate SSIDs however, What I would like to know is what will happen if we stay with the same SSID. Will this create disconnects when roaming?

I've seen some cases where customers face problems when trying to connect.

Not to mention that for 6ghz WPA3 is mandatory, meaning you have to think about devices that don't support WPA3.

Yes , I agree with you, not worth the headache.
I will follow your advise and create a separate SSID for the third radio. Thank you!
