WPA3 not available on my XB7
Hey just got a XB7 modem looks good however the only reason I swapped the modem was for the security wpa3 encryption. Now that it’s installed I’m seeing either wpa2 or open nothing else. Is there a firmware update I need to get WPA3?

Greetings, @user_947fb1! Thanks for reaching out to us on the Forums! I hope you are having an amazing day! I certainly understand wanting to get the best wifi encryption that's out there. At this time, the XB7 does not support WPA3 at this time. We hope there is a future update that will introduce this security but there is no ETA on it at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Even with 1gig speeds and the latest modem that Xfinity offers, I cannot get WPA3, I only see WPA2 or open as options just like you do. The only way after talking to support for the last week to get WPA3, is to bridge to a 3rd party modem. It's unfortunate, and you'd think Xfinity would want the best security for their customers. They no longer have a security department in support, so getting this answer took a lot of digging.
