If I am going to upgrade my router I know I need WiFi 6 but with the documented issues with WPA3 is there any reason to wait for more confirmation that the issues have been fixed and or that I won’t need a whole new device? I know I can buy and not use which is what I would likely do but I don’t want to drop $200+ on something I may need to replace again.

thanks
 
So I went ahead and bought the device and just turned on WPA3. I won’t get into the technical but I wanted to share a couple items-

All devices that can take iOS 13 can use WPA3(this includes my 4K Apple TV)
Even though the password was the same I had to re enter on all devices that supports it.
My 3rd gen Apple Watch could not do it so I had to revert one of the frequencies back to WPA2.
The other devices that it didn’t work on was my printer (it is somewhat old so I am not surprised), TCL 4K Roku TV and my Logitech Harmony hub (didn’t expect either to have it)


since I don’t have any WiFi 6 devices I can’t comment on that but so far I like the device.
