CableLabs is urging hardware makers to adopt a workaround to keep legacy devices connected to Wi-Fi 7 networks, which use WPA3 security.
CableLabs is calling on hardware manufacturers to adopt a workaround that would keep older devices connected to Wi-Fi 7 networks, according to a report.
The issue stems from Wi-Fi 7's WPA3 security protections, which can cause compatibility problems with legacy equipment. CableLabs is urging the industry to implement the workaround to ensure seamless connectivity.
What this means for you: If you have older Wi-Fi devices, they may face connectivity issues with Wi-Fi 7 routers unless manufacturers adopt the proposed workaround.
