# Requirements for WiFi devices
|
||
|
||
I am considering getting a 5G (mobile network) capable one, but as none
|
||
satisfies my requirements, I might as well write them here for reference when
|
||
looking at options.
|
||
|
||
- WPA3 support as certification began in 2018 already.
|
||
- WPA2/WPA3 Transitional mode
|
||
- WiFi Enhanced Open (OWE) transition mode would be nice
|
||
- Multiple SSIDs (including OWE/transition)
|
||
- Option to have lower priority for the guest network
|
||
- Transmit power control to set it to low
|
||
- 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz dualband (should be obvious in 2022)
|
||
- **_Ability to set same SSID for both_** (looking at you Huawei)
|
||
- If the SSIDs differ, devices won't be able to decide between frequency
|
||
and either 2.4 or 5 GHz must be chosen. 5 GHz is mostly subject to
|
||
_Dynamic Frequency Selection_ which means no WiFi for 10 minutes on
|
||
boot.
|
||
- Quality of Service (QoS)
|
||
|
