Access Points

Hi Alta Labs Community and Support,

I’m a happy user of the AP6 Pro and I’m interested in understanding its Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. While I haven’t been able to locate information on optional features in the technical specifications, I was hoping to confirm the AP6 Pro’s support for:

  • Target Wake Time (TWT)
  • BSS Coloring

Additionally, I’d appreciate it if you could point me towards a resource that details the complete list of supported optional 802.11ax capabilities for the AP6 Pro, if available.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Thanks for reaching out!

TWT is enabled by default for all SSIDs, and BSS coloring is only available as a power-user option, via the “he_bss_color” option:

he_bss_color: BSS color (1-63)

#he_bss_color=1

he_bss_color_partial: BSS color AID equation

#he_bss_color_partial=0
