It is also the security protocol that keeps modern Wi-Fi networks safe. WPA3 was introduced in 2018,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/167783\/htg-explains-the-difference-between-wep-wpa-and-wpa2-wireless-encryption-and-why-it-matters\/\">12 years<\/a> after WPA2 made its debut.<\/p>\n<p>The tech world advances at an almost lightning pace, so 12 years is a long time for any standard to be around, let alone a common security one. The current standard includes <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/339765\/what-is-wpa3-and-when-will-i-get-it-on-my-wi-fi\/\">four features its predecessor doesn\u2019t have<\/a>: public network privacy, brute-force attack protection; more accessible connection options for display-free devices; and higher security for government, defense, and industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>WPA3 also became <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cetecom.com\/en\/news\/wi-fi-certified-wpa3-will-become-mandatory-july-1-2020\">mandatory for Wi-Fi-certified devices<\/a> in July 2020. So if you bought your new router since then, you\u2019re using WPA3 now, or your network is at least capable of supporting it.<\/p>\n<p>But despite rolling out four years ago, not all devices and routers have moved over from WPA2. It\u2019s also worth noting that WPA3 isn\u2019t some impenetrable super-protocol either. No protocol or device is 100% safe; in fact, a security researcher discovered an exploit in 2021 that worked on every Wi-Fi protocol from WPA3 to its 1990s ancestor, WEP. While it\u2019s the nature of this particular beast, WPA3 is still immensely superior to WPA2.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Upgrade_Could_Lock_Some_Older_Devices_Out_of_Your_Network\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">The Upgrade Could Lock Some Older Devices Out of Your Network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Devices manufactured around the time of WPA3\u2019s debut and beyond should be okay, as companies saw the upgrade coming and prepared for it.

The main one is, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If you\u2019re upgrading your home network for the security benefits, that old phone or tablet is probably the easiest way through your defenses. So the inevitable complete withdrawal of support for WPA2 devices makes a lot of sense from a security perspective\u2014and security is the main reason for the upgrade in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downgrading_to_WPA2_Will_Fix_the_Problem_but_Its_a_Bad_Idea\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Downgrading to WPA2 Will Fix the Problem, but It\u2019s a Bad Idea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If everything you own won\u2019t work with a new WPA3 protocol, the obvious solution is to roll back to the one that functioned, right?

When a standard shifts, companies withdraw support for obsolete protocols and software. This support isn\u2019t just there to fix apparent bugs\u2014it also fends off the hoard of hackers continuously probing every bit of code available for exploits. Those exploits are regularly found, even in supported software.<\/p>\n<p>The difference with supported software is the company that made its reaction to attacks. When a hacker finds a vulnerability, the company quickly becomes aware of this. That company then puts every effort into patching the exploit and rolling that patch out as soon as possible. This is well worth doing with your latest software.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t worth supporting the obsolete stuff a small fraction of your customer base insists on clinging to. The exploits will only worsen and become more numerous as modern computing becomes more powerful by comparison, and the number of people who benefit from that support is negligible.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Routers_Allow_for_a_Transitional_Period\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Some Routers Allow for a Transitional Period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104566\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/8380dbac.png\" alt=\"A Wi-Fi router in the dark.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-illustration\/wifi-wireless-internet-router-on-dark-607183886\">KsanderDN\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re desperate to cling to your WPA2 devices until they die a natural death, there is some good news. While it may have been impossible for device manufacturers to prepare for the standard switch, the company that made your router may have allowed for some backward compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>A WPA2\/WPA3 transitional mode is available on some routers. This will allow all of your devices to connect to your home network.

You wouldn\u2019t spend a fortune turning your house into Fort Knox while leaving an old-fashioned single-pane window near the back door. There\u2019s no point.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you keep your Wi-Fi network open to a ten-year-old device, the company responsible for that device\u2019s security has almost certainly withdrawn support by now. Plus, the chances are that it isn\u2019t powerful enough to run the latest incarnations of their software, even if it was made available.<\/p>\n<p>So, like the windowpane we mentioned, that old device is an easy way in for hackers. Even if the rest of your home security is solid, it\u2019s only as strong as its weakest point\u2014which is an old phone or laptop in this case.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t apply to all devices equally. A five-year-old phone is more likely to struggle with 2022\u2019s software than a five-year-old laptop, as smartphones have shorter lifespans. But either way, incompatibility with something like the current Wi-Fi standard is probably a sign you should move on.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
