HI folks, a bump to see if anyone else can shed any light on this one. I’ve done some further reading on this and the Enterprise setting may be better from the reading I’ve done. The reading on the Apple discussion forum indicates that Apple hasn’t deployed WPA3 firmware updates for TC’s yet and not even sure if they will. I am up to date with the latest firmware available for my 3rd Gen TC.
I am puzzled that I am seemingly the only one in this community with this issue as I read all threads coming in and no one else has indicated an issue. This makes me think the issue is unique to me and my network config is something to be tweaked a bit (Radio button and other settings perhaps). What I did note is the WPA3 security recommendation arises due to iOS13 and this issue in my house arose (for all of us in the house) the very day (and I can’t help thinking connected) to the fact I was given an iPhone 8 from my niece and I restored my backup from my iPhone iPhone 6 (iOS 12.x.x) and in so doing I moved into iOS 13.x.x where this WPA3 WiFi security recommendation arose. But my sons both have iPhone 11’s (how does that work!!)already on iOS 13.x.x and now iOS 14.x.x.
