Ring Security Cameras
Does Ring cameras work with WPA3 router?
Dear all, I am in the market to buy a new router to replace my old one. Wondering if I shall buy one with WPA3 security option. The reason is that I heard routers with WPA2 are vulnerable to Deauth attacks, which can knock camera off the wifi. I heard WPA3 solved this issue. Anyone know if that is ture? Also need to know if Ring cameras will work with WPA3. I have Ring Flood Light cameras and G3 stickup cameras. Thanks. Flyingtiger

Great response. I agree and ended up removing my Ring cameras too because off bad actors constantly hacking them with WiFi deauth and reauth attacks. Went with ReoLink PoE cameras. Thanks for your input here!

As someone with knowledge of networks as well as how companies roll out new security and updates there are no plans to make WPA3 a reality for Ring devices or those at least that are already have been sold on the market, they would want to market a new device that supports that feature for a money grab. Take point it has been more than 3 years with empty promises and unanswered requests, I feel, excuse me here, but just "bullcrap" excuses. It literally does not take very long for a company to roll out wpa3 support for their devices. If their ball rolls slow then at most 6 months. My household has had to disconnect our ring from our network due to vulnerability and hacking by bad actors leaving the device to be an over priced flood light. I would highly suggest not to follow their feedback to use guest networks as these are highly insecure and opens a vulnerable door for hackers to breach your router. All it takes is a little googling to find this information. I'm sorry but as a customer I am highly disappointed this is not already reality, I do not believe they have any plans to make this happen. For the price of these devices they surely have dropped the ball! My device has been sitting disconnected from the network waiting on wpa3 ability but it is not coming. If your someone that wants more security and relies on your ring flood light your best bet is to run a 2nd router solely for connecting your ring devices but this is not something a novice can do easily just use Google. Ring, get your act together, spend the money to increase security on your devices and at least seem to try and care about your customers! Your products have left a bad impression on me more than once.
