I would like a definitive answer as to if the RAX80 supports the WPA3 standard.

Re: RAX80 WPA3 Support

I know the RAX120 does but and I've read on several site that the plan is implementation of wpa3 on the RAX80 but it wasn't ready in time for release.

There's even been a statement to SNB about potentially older devices getting wpa3 support.

Re: RAX80 WPA3 Support

Thanks for the response. So it should come at some point as a firmware update? Does anyone know of the timeline for its release?
