Orbi WPA3 protocol
Looking to purchase an Orbi system in 2018. When will the Orbi use the new WPA3 wifi protocol ?
Probably not for a long time. WPA3 is not expected to be released to manufacturers until "late 2018". After release it will probably take a while to so it in products. Past experiences with high-end enterprise stuff usually sees new standards appear in products 9-12 months after release to manufacturer.
WPA3 has been ratified ... https://www.cnet.com/news/wpa3-wi-fi-is-here-and-its-harder-to-hack/
With the vast security improvements announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance, I would like to see optional support to trial on RBR50 & RBS50s for WPA3-Personal, WPA3 Enterprise, Wi-FI CERTIFIED Easy Connect, and Wi-FI CERTIFIED Enhanced Open. https://www.wi-fi.org/news-events/newsroom/wi-fi-alliance-introduces-wi-fi-certified-wpa3-security.
