WPA3 - Identifi

Ronald_Dvorak — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 16:50:00 GMT

Hi,

my customer likes to know whether his C25 will support WPA3.

To make it more general.... which software, controller, AP will support WPA3.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron

My understanding at this early stage is that the specification is not fully defined, essentially WiFi Alliance have merely announced plans for WPA3.

The meat and bones of the specification have yet to be defined.

You should stay in touch with your local SE who should be able to advise you of more detailed timeline and hardware/software support later in the year.

I think 11ac support for WPA3 is a must. With good WLAN deployments there is no need to switch APs from 11ac or even 11n to 11ax for at least couple of years, before most of the STAs will be 11ax-capable so you will be able to benefit anything from that standard.

They integrate new WPA3 Features in all existing (supported) WLAN APs (LCOS 10.20).
That's like all customer wish ... i hope Extreme do it same way!

I am having several customers ask for this ability as well. Will the 39xx series AP's support WPA3?

I've contacted one of the product managers to see if there's any answer that can be provided.

@Alona Are you able to give any insights here?

RE: WPA3 - Identifi

Alona — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 00:01:00 GMT

WPA3 support is done in WiNG 7.2.1 release coming next month. That release will go for WPA3 certification when it opens up for AP 5xx, AP 75xx, AP 8533, AP 8432. Support for AP 39xx in WiNG 7 is planned for WING 7.3 release later in a year but WPA3 support on those APs requires driver upgrade which will only happen early next year at which point we hope WPA3 will be able to be supported on AP 39xx and AP 76xx series in WING 7 only. No Identify support is planned.

@Alona what about XCA ?!

Raul_Carbonari — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 04:18:00 GMT

"WPA3 support on those APs requires driver upgrade" this is the same that "firmware conversion"? As far as I know the 39xx APs don't have firmware with dual personality like the AP5xx. Are all AP39xx going to gain support for WPA3 with this update if they are controlled by WING7 or XCA?

RE: WPA3 - Identifi

Alona — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 04:37:00 GMT

By driver upgrade - I mean qualcomm driver that runs on radio chipset. This is not firmware conversion. Drivers are part of AP firmware - by upgrading AP to the release that will support WPA3 - qualcomm driver will be upgraded. Hope it clarifies it.
