A networking team is planning an indoor Wi-Fi 6E deployment that will operate entirely in the 6 GHz band. To avoid violating spectrum regulations and to ensure clients can actually join the WLAN, which consideration should they verify first?
Configure every SSID with WPA2-AES pre-shared keys to satisfy mandatory security requirements for 6 GHz
Use only channels 1, 6, and 11 to avoid interference with legacy 2.4 GHz devices and remain within regulatory guidelines
Restrict channel bandwidth to 40 MHz so transmit power stays below the maximum permitted PSD in the 6 GHz band
Verify that all APs and client devices are certified for 6 GHz and that the planned power and indoor placement follow spectrum rules
Before installing any 6 GHz access points, administrators must confirm that both the infrastructure and client devices are certified for 6 GHz operation and that the intended power levels and indoor-only placement comply with local rules (for example, the FCC's low-power indoor restrictions and AFC requirements for higher power). If the hardware is not 6 GHz-capable-or if it is placed or powered outside the allowed regulatory envelope-the network will either fail to work for users or expose the organization to interference penalties. The other options mention settings (security mode, channel width, or legacy channel selection) that are not regulatory prerequisites for using the 6 GHz spectrum.
