Description:

Standard-compliant Wi-Fi 7 certified operation according to the specifications of the Wi-Fi Alliance requires specific encryption parameters. This means, that different encryption profiles are required for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 clients. As of LCOS LX 7.10 Rel there is a separate encryption profile for Wi-Fi 7, so that it can be selected directly in an SSID. 

However, the encryption profile for Wi-Fi 7 in Wi-Fi 7 access points with LCOS LX as of version 7.10 Rel is only present in access points in the factory state. In existing installations the encryption profile has to be created manually.

This article describes, which parameters have to be selected for the Wi-Fi 7 encryption profile.

A separate encryption profile for Wi-Fi 7 can currently only be created on a standalone access point via LANconfig. This is not possible via WEBconfig.

It is currently also not possible to create a separate encryption profile for Wi-Fi 7 in a WLAN-Controller or in the LMC and assign it to an access point.


Using the LMC the encryption profile for Wi-Fi 7 can only be crated via and  über ein Add-in erstellt und einer neuen oder einer bestehenden SSID zugewiesen werden. Sie finden das Add-in auf der folgenden Seite im Add-in Handbuch:

Add Encryption-Profile for Wifi 7 certified operation

Requirements:

Procedure:

1) Open the configuration of the access point in LANconfig and go to the menu Wireless-LAN → WLAN-Netzwerke → Verschlüsselung.

2. Klicken Sie auf Hinzufügen, um ein neues Verschlüsselungs-Profil zu erstellen.

3. Passen Sie die folgenden Parameter an:

Das Verschlüsselungs-Profil kann anschließend in einem WLAN-Netzwerk ausgewählt werden (in dem Menü Wireless-LAN → WLAN-Netzwerke → Netzwerke).
