![]() The standard over time will replace WPA2, a near-two decades-old security protocol that's built in to protect almost every wireless device today - including phones, laptops, and the Internet of Things. WPA3 employs individualized data encryption, which scrambles the connection between each device on the network and the router, ensuring secrets are kept safe and sites that you visit haven't been manipulated. With WPA3 your WIFI connection in public networks will be better protected like vulnerabilities like krack (which was patched for Windows a long time ago already btw, so do not be worried). The Qualcomm Atheros WCN3998 is compatible with the 802.11ax standard, it seems to be a serious improvement in capacity and range, doubles network throughput whilst offering to reduce power consumption by almost 67% on 802.11ax. Something else has surfaced in the press release though, there will be WPA3 support as well as Bluetooth 5.1. ![]() ![]() The 6th gen WIFI technology combines the two and current 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, and in theory, could achieve a proper 1.8 Gbit/s. While multiple routers are already available with 802.11ax, Qualcomm now announces an 802.11ax network chip that can be used for mobile devices, the successor towards 802.11ac could double or even quadrupling performance compared to AC.
