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...

Thanks for your reply.
Basically, you are telling the best wifi security option is WPA3-Personal with a really long password?
You also say
WPA2-PSK(AES) + WPA3-Personal (in that configuration) is designed for compatibility, not for enhanced security? Do you have source on that statement, I wish to further read upon it.
Thanks.

Do you have any particular reason for being worried about wifi security?
If so you might like to think about some of the belt and braces options that people like Netgear are happy to sell to the terminally paranoid.
