GT-BE98 Pro Wired Backhaul - Apple Devices 6ghz issues

[simplifiedla]

I am running 2 GT-BE98 Pro's & 2 BQ16 Pro's on a wired backhaul - great setup, probably the best I have ever had, but my latest Apple devices are choking on the 6ghz network (all separate SSD's) when I move from floor to floor. I have had mesh setups before with their own issues (mostly because they were wireless setups), so the only way to force the Apple device to get back on the network is to toggle wifi off and on. Any one else experiencing this? I am running the latest stock FW on all of the units.

With IOS - shared SSID and auth - with 6GHz you need to be WPA3 as this is what 6GHz requires...

For 2.4 and 5GHz - WPA2/3 mixed - if you do WPA2 (or WPA2/WPA mixed) you'll have problems...

WPA3 across the board and common SSID is best - Apple is doing the right thing here... just ahead of some that don't do WPA3 for now...
