Hi, Michael Klass 2134.

Thanks for posting your question to the community. I can help you with your question about WPA3 security.

Your Google WiFi network supports different levels of security standards. WPA3 is one of those standards supported. To see what each standard does and which ones are supported by your WiFi network, check out this article here: https://bit.ly/3zw2VFg

You will notice that some security standards offer more features or more compatibility than others.Certain devices may only work with certain standards, so always be mindful of what mode you are using.

If you have any other questions, just let me know. Thanks.

Hey, Michael.

I’m just checking in real quick to see if we needed anything else here or if we were able to resolve the problem. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do here.

Thanks

Hi, everyone.

As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.

Thanks
