I have 3 SSIDs but only the first one is working and allowing connections.
SSID1: VLANID: 1 : Authentication: WPA3/WPA2 Personnal
SSID2: VLANID: 2 : Authentication: WPA2/WPA Personnal
SSID3: VLANID: 3 : Authentication: WPA3/WPA2 PersonnalMost likely because the VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 (and a dedicated IP subnetwork) does not exist on your network, and does not have a DHCP server assigning IP addresses to your test clients.
You could for example define more SSIDs and let these connect all to your same network (VLAN and IP subnet). As long as you map the SSID 2 and 3 to the VLAN 1, thee SSID will work for your test.

That's right.
I was creating the roof before having the walls. Once that I put all the WiFis in the same VLAN (1) all worked immediately.
Thanks for your help and sorry for such a beginner question.
