Wifi 6e/7 and Apple Devices

[TyShawn]

Hey, fellow forum members looking for some advice. I am in the process of replacing some MR4X and older APs. One of the features that worked well for us was PPSK (love this feature). With Wifi 6e and 7 and 6Ghz, this feature goes away.

My issue is Apple devices like to share SSID information and will attempt to have all devices connect to the same SSID. I plan to create a corp user SSID and assign that to the 6GHz band, then other SSIDs like IoT and guest would be assigned to 2.4 and 5Ghz (PPKS). For some reason, I am hitting a brick wall when it comes to what I would like to do next with these new APs and user devices. 

Any tips are welcome.

My first advice would be to move all non-IoT devices to WPA3-Enterprise (802.1X).

For PPSK (named iPSK in the Meraki World), I still hope that Meraki will implement "iPSK with RADIUS" with WPA3 on MR APs. All other vendors, including Catalyst Wireless, are capable of that.

But typically, I keep IoT devices on an iPSK SSID on 2,4 and 5 with just WPA2. Many of these devices can't connect with WPA3 anyhow.

I'm also curious , is there a direct replacement for IPSK without Radius ?

YYeeaahhhh I did mix up the PSK names PPSK, IPSK, DPS, MyPSK so many PSK names to keep up with. Thanks for the info
