As always, when a new version arrives, it brings different news and changes. Some useful security, performance and feature improvements for users. However, there are two that should interest us the most in the area of networks: it adds support for Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3 .
Windows 10 already supports Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3
If there are two things that users take into account when browsing the Internet, it is speed and security. Without a doubt, they are two factors that must always be present to avoid problems that may condition our navigation. With the passage of time, standards and technologies have emerged to improve wireless networks and also security, since they are closely linked.
If we talk about wireless networks, the last standard is Wi-Fi 6 . It offers higher capacity, better performance and speed. As for security, WPA3 encryption comes to replace WPA2 encryption that we have seen that may not be completely safe in certain circumstances when using outdated computers.
Now Windows 10, with its latest update just released, adds support for both Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3. The first will achieve better coverage and also improve performance and speed when connecting wirelessly. We already know that most of our connections today operate wirelessly. The second case, WPA3 encryption, will provide users with greater security than is the most popular operating system on desktop computers today.
Have Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3 compatibility
First of all it will be necessary to have Windows 10 updated . To check the version we have we must go to Start, go to Settings, Update and security and look for updates, if they are available. In this way we guarantee to always have the latest versions available and thus avoid security problems.
Logically, it is also necessary to have Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3 compatibility . Please note that not all routers are compatible. We can see the specifications of the exact model we have and in this way know if there is compatibility or not with both Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3 and in this way we can enjoy the improvements.
From this article we always recommend having our devices and systems updated with the latest versions. On many occasions, vulnerabilities can arise that are exploited by hackers to carry out their attacks. These patches and updates can solve security flaws and thus prevent possible attacks or the entry of malware that could put our security and privacy at risk when browsing the Internet.
However, it should also be noted that sometimes updates can cause problems. This also happens when updating Windows and is something that affects some users. In a previous article we talked about how to fix the problem of connecting Wi-Fi when updating Windows.
