Model: Archer AX3000  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a TP-Link AC1900 that I'm upgrading to a AX3000. I have about 30 smart home devices set up currently that will be a pain to have to re-connect if I change from WPA2 to WPA3. My question is can I use WPA3 without reconfiguring all of my devices or am I stuck using WPA2?

@MFJacks 

 

Maybe... Some will work but others may not. You may want to set one band (2.4) to WPA2 and the other band to WPA3.

 

NOTE: I looked at the specs of the AX3000 and it does not show WPA3 as an option...

@MFJacks I believe that link you are referencing is the AX3000 (AX50). I have the latest AX55 which does support WPA3.
