RAX80 support for WPA3

Question

When will the RAX80 get WPA3 support?&nbsp;It has been said from the start that the router should support wpa3 at a later date, but I'm starting to doubt. The competing router from Asus, RT-AX88U, got WPA3 support in November. Does anyone know when wWPA3 will come into place on the RAX80?

Hi henrik367,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

We currently do not have an ETA or any further details on when the RAX80 should support WPA3. We'll provide an update as soon as we can.

&nbsp;

Regards,

Looks like WPA3-Personal has shipped, I just enabled it today on my RAX-80, I'm currently on Firmware Version V1.0.3.98_1.0.46 (didn't actively update it).

My new nighthawk has WPA3 option. And it either fails to connect to my iPhone or iPad. I have had to reset it back to wpa2.&nbsp;the product loaded an update when first installing

Yeah I found that older devices in my house didn't yet have WPA3 support (iPhone worked, OnePlus 5T didn't).&nbsp;I ended up splitting the 2.4GHz and 5.0Ghz bands and doing:&nbsp;2.4 GHz: WPA2-Personal[AES] + WPA3-Personal5.0 GHz: WPA3-Personal&nbsp;I had an issue with it a few weeks ago, but I restarted the router and everything has been good otherwise.
