To enable WPA3 Transition Mode, navigate to Wireless > Configure > Access Control > Security and set the WPA encryption selection to WPA3 Transition Mode.
The standard relies on Protected Management Frames, which often require users to update their hardware with chips engineered to support the technology. Thus, depending on the type of WLAN you have deployed, migrating from WPA2 to WPA3 may or may not be possible without a hardware refresh.
WPA3 is definitely superior to WPA2 in terms of network security and data encryption. But considering the list of router models available to the average user and the price, I would consider this type of Wi-Fi security as a solution that we can think about in the near future.
For TP-Link Router
On the web interface, please go to Advanced -> Wireless -> Wireless settings -> change the security type to WPA2-PSK -> click on the save button to finish the setting.
To find out if you're connected using WPA3 security
For the Wi-Fi network you're connected to, select Properties next to the Wi-Fi network name. On the Wi-Fi network screen, look at the value next to Security type. It will include WPA3 if you're connected to a network using WPA3 encryption for security.
What devices don't work with WPA3? Devices released before 2018 and newer devices without firmware updates for WPA3 support don't work with the advanced security protocol.
Secondly, if you have an older router, but not too old, that can get WPA3 with a firmware update, you're in luck. WPA3 is a software-based upgrade over WPA2, and many routers can support it with firmware updates.
WPA3 Personal is the newest, most secure protocol currently available for Wi-Fi devices. It works with all devices that support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and some older devices.
WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA3: Which is best? When choosing from among WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 wireless security protocols, experts agree WPA3 is best for Wi-Fi security. As the most up-to-date wireless encryption protocol, WPA3 is the most secure choice.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the oldest and most common Wi-Fi security protocol.
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.
WPA2/WPA3 Transitional is a mixed mode that uses WPA3 Personal with devices that support that protocol, while allowing older devices to use WPA2 Personal (AES) instead. WPA2 Personal (AES) is appropriate when you can't use one of the more secure modes.
The WPA3 password is the third generation of the security protocol developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It is the updated version of WPA2. The Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) protocol is a newer security protocol designed to encrypt your data using an automatic and frequent encryption type.
Normally your TP-Link Router's default IP address is http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1; TP-Link Deco's default IP address is http://192.168.68.1.
Choose 'LAN' in the menu followed by 'DHCP server'. Scroll to 'Manually assigned IP around the DHCP list' and click on the arrow next to 'MAC address'. Find the appliance you want to assign the address to. Use the automatic address or choose your own address.
Connect one end of one Ethernet cable into the back of the modem, then connect the other end into the Wide Area Network (WAN) port on the router. Connect the router power cord into an electrical outlet, then connect the other end to the router.
