best wifi encryption?
Hello everyone. What is the strongest encryption for WiFi and why? Please site a source for your statement. Thank you. WPA2-PSK (AES) WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES) WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WPA...
I already looked it up. No clear answer.
My guess, strongest probably is
WPA2-PSK(AES) + WPA3-Personal
Am I right?
both have vulnerabilities currently. I'd say wpa3 is more secure as there's more tools for cracking wpa2 password currently so the general masses know more about them but there's tools for both.
But more importantly is just choosing a smart password for your network.
Many times its simple guesses that get people access to networks or even not having a password at all.
Its just like at a home, you can't make it fully 100% safe from robbers but you can do your best to dissuade the general public and make it hard enough that it isn't worth their time.
The only reason to operate mixed mode like WPA2-PSK(AES) + WPA3-Personal would be to continue clients not capable for operating WPA3-Personal clients, or having interoperability issues limitations.
