This will take a decade to even begin deploying. There's billions of chipsets right now that will never support it. Does wpa3 support leaving wpa2 on? Otherwise

This will take a decade to even begin deploying. There's billions of chipsets right now that will never support it. Does wpa3 support leaving wpa2 on? Otherwise I can't turn it on for a decade.

- danmg 8y agoWe're about a decade further in the adoption of Wifi from when WPA2 was released. It's a completely different ballpark now that wifi is considered part of the basic infrastructure everywhere and baked in to exponentially more devices. It took several years for people to pitch their old dell laptops and nintendo consoles that couldn't support the then-new standards. People aren't going to replace their thermostats, baby-monitors, security systems, home entertainment systems, and juicers over night.

- zamadatix 8y ago"Does wpa3 support leaving wpa2 on?" Yes, there are additional modes "WPA3 Personal Transitional" and "WPA3 Enterprise Transitional" which allow WPA2 on the same SSID and relax some of the WPA3 requirements like PMF.
