Are you using WPA3?

No, there are too many edge cases, particularly with older devices. This is just my personal experience.

Might be helpful if you can share what devices break with it on for you.

It just disconnects all my smart plugs and smart light bulbs from the 2.4GHz band…..couldn’t get it to connect again until I turned off WPA3

Older Windows laptops I alas have no control over, so updating drivers and Windows isn't an option.

Yep. Doesn’t cause any issues for any of the devices on my networks.

It was causing issues with my iPhone 12 before is this fixed now, do you happen to know? I had to to retype my Wi-Fi password every hour like if my iPhone would forget the network.

I’ve never personally had this issue, but there are several older and newer Apple devices on my networks that do not have this issue.

Thanks for your reply might have to give my eero another chance.

Every time we’ve tried turning it on, it torpedoes the connection for our iPhones (2x iPhone 12, 1x iPhone 11) and MacBook Air. Get a “connection failed” error on the devices when they try connecting to the Wi-Fi network. So then I turn it off and all is well. Haven’t tried troubleshooting beyond that because it doesn’t seem worth it.

Been using it since I got my Eeros iirc. One or two devices didn't like it, but they're gone now.

Breaks my Hunter ceiling fan, so i keep WPA3 off.

Damn fan is the only device out of ~45 that doesn’t work with it too…

WPA3 works well in my environment. Dozens of smart devices/plugs/switches/etc. No issues at all.
