You get protected management frames with 802.11w, WPA3 has it by default. Vendor support for it, in my experience, has been pretty bad however.

- simongr3dal 8y agoI know that the 802.11 means it's a standard for a wireless communication protocol, but I'm only familiar with 802.11b/a/g/n/ac (because they are on the admin page of my router). How do I now whether my WiFi supports 802.11w or any of the other countless 802.x family of standards that would be nice to have? Are there any good overviews to these things?
- zamadatix 8y agoYou can search for "MFP", "PMF", "Management Frame Protection", or "Protected Management Frames" in your Wi-Fi router's settings. Second best way is to look up the chipset in your router online. Going forward anything you buy with WPA3 will support this feature though as it is a requirement to be certified now.

- Hikikomori 8y agoYou read the specs or manual for your access point/router. You could also look at beacons and your association request in wireshark, the AP will advertise what it supports. I don't think you'll find these features in consumer equipment, so your best bet is wpa3.
