Hello Niyas,

Here's are the most common reasons that SSID might not be broadcasting: https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/Q_A/Why-aren-t-the-APs-broadcasting-the-WLAN-SSID

Go through the check list and make sure all adheres to best practices.

Also log into one of the APs and make sure that changes made on the controller have properly propagated to the AP.

Thank you,

Chris

Just a note to the 5SSIDs, not sure whether they are all on every AP - if that is the case you should try to reduce the amount to a minimum.

Here a disussion about it.....

Check Radio config at AP level, if you do have one that means you are overriding the profile config and possibly the AP level Radio profile does not have the SSID associated to it.

For basic wlan setup this might help:

Something else to look at:

In general:

1 - Create WLAN (above instructions)
2 - Map to vlan (VLANs have to be created first)
3 - Map to radio
4 - Make sure your country code is set in the RF-Domain
