So I was configuring a printer yesterday and had a concern. Since a fence is only as strong as the weakest link, is using ANY device that merely has WPA (the old 2.4 standard but now very old) a weak point to be avoided now that we are at 2016 and laptops can have dual GPU's?
I'm starting to wonder if all things that don't at minimum have WPA2 need to be removed or changed out for powerline/Ethernet to avoid splashing a password handshake around the airwaves. If the question involves password complexity, I am well capable in that area and generate solid multi character type keys of at least 15 characters and often above 20. So the keys are pretty solid but is WPA so weak now that it should be removed from a network useage?
So many articles on the topic are 3-4 years old or worse.
