Jouni, Please refer to the sniffer capture at https://drive.google.com/file/d/13EcsEJKjKrkID20SPaq0YYA3_iatGD6Y/view?usp=sharing Pixel6 mac: 0c:c4:13:14:16:93 The issue usually happens after multiple roaming connections between our mesh system. Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf I dumped from Pixel6, assuming that's the config taken and run in the wifi system > oriole:/ $ cat /vendor/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf > update_config=1 > eapol_version=1 > ap_scan=1 > fast_reauth=1 > pmf=1 > p2p_add_cli_chan=1 > oce=1 > sae_pwe=2 If the 802.11 spec mandates H2E when both peers advertised the support, the issue here sounds more on the Pixel6 then.
