EX7700/8000 PMF (Protected Management Frames) support
Dear Netgear community/staff,
I noticed both extenders that I own do not support PMF and probably all other none AX extenders.
R7000 - FreshTomato 2021.08
Only PMF set to capable will connect.
The RAX70 that I owned had PMF in capable mode when enabled or I wouldn't have noticed.
Will it ever be supported? Is there any hidden menu/option? 802.11w seems to be around for some time and current equipment that i own are a couple years old connect fine when pmf is mandated.
Hopefully devs consider PMF.
Have a great day!
