Windows WPA3 diagnosis

Windows enables WPA3 at the operating system level. The computer may also need device-specific firmware / software updates for WPA3. Some older hardware doesn’t connect to WPA3, even in transition mode.

Check enabled WiFi features:

netsh wlan show drivers

look for “802.11ax” under:

Radio types supported : 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g 802.11n 802.11ac 802.11ax

also look under “Authentication and cipher supported in infrastructure mode”.

Determine if the network is WPA3 from a Windows device that works on the network by:

netsh wlan show networks

Look for the SSID of the desired network. It should include a field “Authentication”.
