A small municipal field office SOHO-class AP offers WPA3 Transition for Personal mode versus SAE-only. How should the mode be chosen?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Transition Mode is the compatibility on-ramp; SAE-only is the tighter Personal setting. Pick from threat model and what devices you still must allow—not ‘keep WEP forever’ or paste passwords on a wiki.
Full Explanation
WPA3 Transition Mode for Personal allows mixed WPA2-Personal and WPA3-Personal operation for compatibility, while SAE-only refuses WPA2-Personal clients and tightens the authentication posture. Selection depends on threat model and client inventory. Neither abandoning encryption nor publicly posting passphrases is acceptable.
