Does BE200 Support MLO + WPA3 Compatibility mode

AiJun — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:31:20 GMT

AP:
2G,5G, and 6G in a MLO group.
2G, 5G is WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode
6G is WPA3-Personal only.

BE200(7.0.0-22-generic) station can't associate to AP with MLO.

But after modify AP 2G 5G Security to WPA3-Personal-Transition mode, now it can associate to AP with MLO success.

So does BE200 support WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode?

Hello AiJun,

Thank you for reaching out to the Intel Community and for the detailed testing you've already done, that's really helpful context!

To answer your question about the Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200 and WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode with MLO: this is a great question, and we want to make sure we give you an accurate answer rather than a guess. Based on your testing, it does appear there may be a limitation with WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode (WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode) when used in an MLO configuration, as the connection was only successful after switching to WPA3-Personal-Transition mode on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

To help us confirm this and provide you with a definitive answer, could you please share the following:

The output of dmesg | grep iwlwifi and dmesg | grep -i "assoc\|auth\|wpa\|mlo" captured during the failed association attempt with WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode
Your AP vendor, model, and firmware version
The output of modinfo iwlwifi to confirm your driver version

This will allow us to review the driver behavior and check with our engineering team if needed to confirm whether this is a known limitation or a configuration-specific behavior.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.

Hi JeanetteC,

The output of dmesg | grep iwlwifi and dmesg | grep -i "assoc\|auth\|wpa\|mlo" captured during the failed association attempt with WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode
A:Please see BE200-dmesg.txt
Your AP vendor, model, and firmware version
A: The AP vendor is QCA. 2.4G is QCN5224, 5G is QCN6224, and 6G is QCN6274. Of course, 2,5,and 6G AP is in one mlo group.

Hello AiJun,

Please note that I can only support you in English. I used a web translation tool to translate this reply, so there may be some inaccurate translations.

Thank you so much for providing all the details and logs — that was really helpful in getting to the bottom of this!

We have confirmed the answer to your question. The Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200 does not support WPA3-Personal-Compatibility mode in MLO groups that include the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Instead, the BE200 supports WPA3-Personal-Transition mode, which is a more flexible option that allows multiple AKMs (Authentication and Key Management) and provides better backward compatibility. Your finding is consistent with this — the successful association after switching to WPA3-Personal-Transition mode confirms expected behavior.

As for the 6GHz band using WPA3-Personal only, that is fully supported and working as expected.

For your reference, here are two articles that provide additional details on WPA3 support and related configurations for Intel® Wireless Adapters:

Also, could you please share the make and model of your computer? This information may be helpful for any further reference or follow-up.

We hope this clears things up! If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Best regards,
