Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a wireless security standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA3 is their latest security standard. WPA technology encrypts user data to protect wireless networks from outside threats.
WPA3 Personal is a WiFi security authentication protocol, that is available as a setting in the local browser user interface (UI). This personal authentication option is a more secure option than WPA2. WPA3 uses simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE) encryption and allows only WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the virtual access point (VAP).
Consider the types of clients that must be able to connect to your WiFi network. WPA3 provides a more secure connection than WPA2, but many WiFi devices might not yet detect WPA3 and support only WPA2. Similarly, WPA2 provides a more secure connection than WPA, but some legacy WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. For more information about securing your WiFi network, see your user manual.
