WPA3 issues
I just repalced my RBK52 to RBK852 and so far everything works great except major WPA3 hiccup I thought WPA3 supposed to be a backward compatible but some devices cannot connect the network if I set...
Sorry to be late to this thread. I was just thinking of switching my RBR/RBS network to WPA3-Personal [SAE] but wondered, "am I going to regret this?" Except for a somewhat dated Samsung TV, I *think* that all of my (mostly Apple) devices should work....
If all your devices support WPA3, there's no reason to regreat it. WPA3 fixes some security weaknesses and makes IEEE 802.11w mandatory, which is long overdue.
The only problem is interoperability with devices in the wild, sadly including brandnew ones (and IoT in particular). If all your devices support it, great - sadly the situation is different for most of us, partially because of older device, partially because of contemporary IoT devices, partially because of brandnew devices where the vendor messed up and doesn't really support WPA3 despite claiming to do so, partially because you may have friends and family coming over with non-WPA3-compliant devices.
But, there's no harm done in trying - if it succeeds in your environment, great.
