AP4000 Radios and 6 GHz Support
The AP4000 access point oers three radios:
Radio 1 — WLAN Service (2.4 GHz) supports g/n/ax and bg/bgn
Radio 2 — WLAN Service (5.0 GHz)
Radio 3 — 6.0 GHz WLAN Service and sensor.
AP4000 access points support the following:
IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.
Out of Band discovery on the 6 GHz band. APs that provide WLAN service on the 6 GHz band
include Reduced Neighbor Report IE in all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons and probe responses. Out of
Band discovery helps clients find 6 GHz SSIDs and channel information that comes from 2.4 GHz and
5 GHz beacons of co-located access points.
Supports AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP) on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios.
6E WFA Compliant network authentication methods.
The AP4000 6 GHz radio supports only the following 6E WFA Compliant network authentication
methods:
OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption) for Open Networks
WPA3-Personal (SAE/H2E)
WPA3-Enterprise
WPA3-Compatability
Extreme Campus Controller requires that your 6 GHz radio network assignment be 6E WFA
compliant. It rejects network configuration changes that result in a 6 GHz radio network assignment
that are not compliant. It might be necessary to redefine your networks when configuring the 6 GHz
radio on the AP4000.

6 GHz Channel Allocation and Notation
Because numerous channels are oered on the 6 GHz band, it is a best practice to configure the
Preferred Scanning Channel (PSC) so that the amount of probing is kept to a minimum. Preferred
channels function as primary channels at each channel width: 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz.
Note
All channels on the 6 GHz band are supported when 20 MHz and 40 MHz are used. It is a best
practice to configure Preferred Scanning Channels for faster scanning.
Example: 6 GHz channel notation 47e/160
47 — Selected channel
e — Represents 6E (6 GHz band). Dierentiates 6 GHz overlapping channel numbers with bands 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz.
