Orbi security WPA options
I have RBR353 set of mesh. Currently I am using WPA2-PSK option. Should I be usinfg the WPA3 option?
From page 68 of the User Manual:
Only the most recent devices support WPA3. If you have computers, TV's, "Internet of Things" stuff, printers, etc. that are more than a couple of years old, they simply will not connect if security is set to WPA3.
If you have really old WiFi devices, they may not connect to WPA2.
You can certainly experiment. Set it to WPA3 and see what does not connect. If anything fails to connect, set it to WPA2 (the setting most people use.) If there are still devices that fail to connect, set it to the least secure. I found that everything in my house connects to WPA2.
Until comes out with mixed mode WPA2 and WPA3 for the 350 series, you'll need to keep WPA2 for now for backwards compatibility for wifi devices that don't support WPA3.
