I observed that I do in fact see ".... ..1. = Neighbor Report: Enabled" under "Tag: RM Enabled Capabilities (5 octets)" which implies that it is enabled, however I found a few documents online that suggest that in additiont to the above, 802.11k also requires Country and Power Constraint elements in addition to RM Enabled Capabilities.  I don't see Country and Power Constraint elements. 

To confirm, have you enabled the Fast Roaming feature on the OC200?

I have all the three elements by capturing the packets from the SSID via Wireshark, see screenshot as below.

Note: Using EAP225-Outdoor v1 firmware 5.0.7 managed by Controller v5.0.29 (Windows), with Fast Roaming enabled.

@Fae Just wanted to ping you.  Does this look ok?

 

however I found a few documents online that suggest that in additiont to the above, 802.11k also requires Country and Power Constraint elements in addition to RM Enabled Capabilities.  I don't see Country and Power Constraint elements.  Can I get confirmation that the TP-link implimentation of 802.11k is working correctly?  Are those two elements required for 802.11k to work?

Sorry for my delayed response. It takes some time to confirm the information with the R&D team.

Regarding the different test results between us that I get all the three elements while you only have one, it's because we are using different versions of products for testing. To be specific, your EAP is US version running with the official firmware, while mine is EU version running with a non-official firmware that I didn't notice before. Generally speaking, EAP EU version (with DFS supported) will carry the Power Constraint element, and EAP with official firmware won't carry the Country element.

In fact, the 802.11k protocol itself contains many function points. For example, we can also see Link Measurement and Neighbor Report in RM Enabled Capabilities. At present, the Omada Fast Roaming feature realizes the interaction of Radio Measurement through some function points of 802.11K protocol. Therefore, it doesn't necessarily carry the information of Country and Power Constraint in the Beacon for 802.11k to work, that is, missing those two elements won't prevent the Fast Roaming feature from taking effect. Please do not worry about it.
