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...

Seriously?!? Oh nooooooo what a *****. Would have checked the fine documentation, however there is still no Orbi (AX) User Manual publisehd.
Ya, NG is working on it. Future updates should have the full mixed mode. We hope. :smileytongue:
I was wondering why some places are making the 852 available sooner than expected. I presume it's these retail stores that are now selling them before the annouced date?
Oh, no wonder when I selected "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" from the iPhone app during initial setup it kept going back to just "WPA3-Personal"
The iPhone App lists "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" as an option but then the web UI says "WPA3-Personal [SAE]" with no WPA2/WPA3 option.
Yes the Orbi app won't be compatible with that setting on the RBR. Hopefully NG will get the mixed security modes going in a future update. Please be patient.
Z42985 the problem with WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode is that there is lot of legacy and even newer wifi clients that have issues with the SSID of AX routers that support this mixed mode so that is probably why the feature was taken out but the app has not cought up yet.
Has NG fixed the WPA3 issues yet? I am having trouble with a wifi doorbell.
Sure enough that was the problem. I have the newest arlo and you would think it would be. Thanks for the response.
Im sure theres still lots of devices that don't support WPA3 as of yet.
Glad it worked. Enjoy. :smileywink:
