Abstract
In a wireless (e.g., Wi-Fi 7) network, an access point (AP) that supports multiple security protocols (e.g., WPA2 and WPA3) ignores probe requests for association and connection with the AP using WPA2 from clients that also support WPA3, while granting WPA2 probe requests from WPA2-only clients and WPA3 probe requests from WPA3-capable clients, thereby preventing WPA3-capable clients from connecting using the lower-security WPA2 protocol and guiding all clients to optimize the security of their connections with the AP.
