Fortiap 441k radio 3 not working (has full power)

[jcrawford]

I have a fortigate 60f connected to a fortiswitch 108F-FPOE (full power switch), then connected to a fortiap 231f and a 441k. 

I have created an ssid that only supports wifi6e using 6ghz, is enabled, has wpa3 sae for security, shows that it is enabled in the dashboard.

however it is not broadcasting... one small issues I noticed I set the channels to only allow uni5 and uni6 however it still says it is using channel 1. 

any support would be great thanks.

You are mentioning that you have checked the allocated power but according to this article (802.3bt -60/90W) and the datasheet of the switch (802.3af/at), this switch is not capable to offer full power for this AP. Can you share the output of cw_diag power ?

I have the 108F-FPOE not the 108F-POE.   here is the output

Model 110G-FPOE will support 802.3bt, I think this model supports only 802.3at as also seen in the line: Budget lldp 0,0 poe 25,0 (dc=99 af=13 at=25

I have a BT power injector coming tomorrow morning and will update post if it fixes it. 

[jcrawford]

yes... looking at the specsheet again I do see that  my switch does not support bt...

new 90w injector arrived to day and the wifi7 ssid is now broadcasting.  thank you for pointing me in the right direction
