WPA3
WPA3 is the newer Wi-Fi security standard, with stronger protection for your network password than WPA2.
What it means for you
Turn it on if your router offers it and your devices support it. Some older smart devices cannot join a WPA3-only network, so a mixed WPA2 and WPA3 mode is the usual compromise.
