Hello WiFiProblems,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand that you are experiencing an issue where WPA3 Suite-B Authentication is showing as not supported on your system.

To help us investigate further, we kindly request you to try the troubleshooting steps below and share the results with us:

Verify the output of netsh wlan show wirelesscapabilities and confirm if WPA3 Suite-B is listed under supported authentication types

Check if any Group Policy (GPO) or security policy related to WPA3 or FIPS is enabled on the system

Confirm whether FIPS mode is enabled in the system security settings or registry

Validate the Wi-Fi profile configuration (especially if it is using WPA3-Enterprise with Suite-B 192-bit security)

If possible, test the connection with a standard WPA3-Enterprise network (without Suite-B requirement) for comparison

Once you have reviewed the above steps, kindly share the outputs and observations with us. This will help us isolate whether the behavior is related to system configuration, network policy, or platform limitations.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your update.

Hello WiFiProblems,

I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for sharing the network diagnostic information.

After reviewing the netsh WLAN report, we observed that WPA3-Suite B authentication is not supported on the current configuration. However, we can confirm that WPA3-Enterprise is supported on the Intel wireless adapter in use.

For your reference, Intel provides detailed information on WPA3 support across different modes in the following article:

Support for Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) on Intel® Wireless...

Based on this behavior, the limitation is expected and depends on the specific WPA3 security mode configured on the access point and client compatibility.

We recommend ensuring that the access point is configured to use WPA3-Enterprise (or mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode if required) for compatibility with the Intel wireless adapter.

Please let us know if you need further assistance or if the issue persists after validating the configuration.

We appreciate your understanding and co-operation throughout the process.

Thank you for being a valued customer of Intel.

Best Regards

Hello WiFiProblems,

I hope you are doing well.

This is a follow-up regarding the WPA3 compatibility discussion, and the network diagnostic results shared earlier.

We had observed that WPA3-Suite B authentication is not supported on the current configuration; however, the Intel wireless adapter does support WPA3-Enterprise. As mentioned, this behavior is expected based on the security mode configured on the access point and client compatibility.

We recommended ensuring that the access point is configured to use WPA3-Enterprise or WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode, depending on your network setup.

Could you please confirm if you were able to check or update the access point configuration? If the issue is still being observed after these changes, kindly share the latest details so we can assist you further.

We look forward to your response and are happy to help if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best Regards
