When you select WPA3 Enterprise authentication, the Dynamic VLAN radio
buttons display:
- Enable: The RADIUS server can assign a VLAN ID to clients. If the RADIUS
server does not do so, the clients are automatically assigned the VLAN ID that
you configured for the SSID.
- Disable: The clients are assigned the VLAN ID that you configured for the
SSID. This is the default setting.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8. Make sure that you can connect to the new WiFi network.
If you cannot connect to the new WiFi network, check the following:
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is already connected to another
WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to
the correct WiFi network. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first
open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your
network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi
network selection in your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to match the
current settings for your network.
• Does your WiFi device display as a connected client? (See Display client
distribution, connected clients, and client trends on page 188.) If it does, it is
connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct WiFi network name (SSID) and password?
• If you changed the WiFi authentication and encryption to WPA3 Personal, make
sure that the WiFi adapter device driver is updated to the latest version on your
WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device.

Protected Management Frames (PMF), according to the 802.11w standard, is a security
feature that protects unicast and multicast management frames from being intercepted
and changed for malicious purposes. The type of authentication that you select
determines if this feature is mandatory, optional, or disabled. You can also set it manually.
