ErnestTheGreat Can't Netgear consider to allow the transitioning WPA2/WPA3 mode again

Hi schumaku,

 

The issue as I remember with WPA2/WPA3 was more on the client-side of things than AP so to avoid issues for customers it was removed. A lot of the Samsung Galaxy S devices had an issue with using the WPA2/WPA3 feature and so did many other clients which is why it was removed. As far as bringing back the WPA2/WPA3 feature goes I can't comment on that since that is something that the Netgear Product Line Mangers need to decide on.
