Security issue. WPA3, what devices have this and which do not?

WPA3 (5ghz is also safer) helps prevent criminal's Wi-Fi jamming devices from blocking the Wi-Fi network. Criminals have become active in our area with these jamming devices. How to find out which Ring devices have WPA3 and which don't yet have the firmware update? I am suddenly losing most of our many Ring devices when I change our router settings to WPA3 which most devices should already have, but Ring has not done this with many devices yet. It is also not listed in specs of the devices on the website or products. Thanks

    Hi @GoBananas. As stated in this Help Center [article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/7473652531604-Wifi-Security-Help-Keep-Your-Home-Wifi-Network-and-Ring-Devices-Safe), Ring products are not compatible with WPA3. Feel free to vote and comment on this Feature Request [post](https://community.ring.com/t/wpa3-wifi-support/19131/12) where other neighbors are requesting WPA3 compatibility.

      It's a darn firmware update. So make it compatible. No excuses. Wi-Fi jammers are in use by many criminals, more and more so. This is a serious security issue. Fix it!

      What is the reason for not supporting WPA3? Are you saying we should cancel our subscription and find another security option.

      Hi @user_c346dd. We use a WPA2 because it balances a strong encryption with broad compatibility and will work with every Ring product. You can find more information here.

      Agree, I tried to update my wifi settings to the newer more secure WPA3 but all my ring devices disconnected. If this can be achieved by a software update, Ring should allow devices to connect using WPA3, so all it's users can use best security standard that has been available since 2018 and widely available on home wifi
