I think this is a bit exotic question, but perhaps someone can help.

I have some older retro Macs (G5, iMacG4) with old WPA2 Wi-Fi cards. When I set the WAX650S connected to USG-Flex 200 to WPA3 (WPA2/WPA3-Personal) it is not possible to connect to the Wi-Fi.

Then the Wi-Fi ask for a username? and a password.

When I set the Wi-Fi to WPA2, all is working perfect, but It would be nice to use WPA3.

Working settings for WPA2

Not working WPA3 settings

Any ideas?

    Hi @Tzunami,

    I'm not sure if your old MAC WiFi adapter supports WPA3. You might need to check its specifications or update its driver first. If it doesn't support WPA3, then you will need to upgrade your WiFi adapter.
