I have some issues with WPA2/WPA3 and old iOS devices that can't be updated to the latest iOS version. When the router is in WPA2/WPA3 mode the iOS 13.3 devices fail to connect. When I set the router to WPA2 only the older devices have no problem connecting. I was under the impression that WPA2/WPA3 is for older devices that don't support WPA3 only so they still can connect through WPA2. But I guess there are other underlying changes in the WPA2 implementation when selecting WPA2/WPA3. Does anyone know more about why those two authentication methods are not equal?
I had this issue with the 2.4GHz band to Roost temp/humidity devices and an old Epson printer. Noted that the 2.4Ghz channel had auto'd to channel #7. When I manually changed to channel #6 then all ok?? I've not had a chance to try to recreate, to nail it down, but was a solid failure. With Alpha2 (and last Alpha1) all working fine on WPA2/WPA3 for me and about 25 clients in the house.
