Connecting to AP7 5ghz SSID from Purple or Gold with WiFi Adaptor not working?
I'm not sure why this doesn't work, but I used to be able to connect from a Purple and a Gold with WiFi Adaptor to a 5ghz only SSID on my old AP (Netgear).
However, when I created a 5ghz only SSID on the AP7, I found the Purple as well as the Gold cannot connect to it, but they can connect to a 2.4ghz SSID just fine.
Other devices in my home connecting to the 5ghz only SSID's on my AP7 seem to be just fine, just the two Firewalla's are having an issue.
Can you explain what is the difference? Is it because of security or something?

That did the trick. I didn't realize there was this restriction and before in my Netgears I had manually set channels trying to use all channels in my location.
However, now this has led to another strange problem. For the 6ghz I think I read you can't manually set it yet, but for 2.4ghz and 5ghz it doesn't seem to be working completely.
So I've got 3 AP7's.
I'm trying to set the 2.4ghz for each one to 1, 6, and 11, for 1 and 6 it's working, but for the one I set to 11, it's still showing channel 1 according to my analyzer (I'm using Acrylic Wi-Fi to see).
For 5ghz, I'm trying to set 36, 100, and 149. 36 and 100 are working, but the one I set to 149 says it's just using 100 as well.
Any ideas here?
