You turned on WPA3 on your router, and a smart device stopped connecting. Now you want to know which of your gadgets can handle it.
The answer for WPA3 smart home devices is mixed. Vendor pages say yes, say no, or say nothing. iRobot says it does not support WPA3. Ring names WPA3 as an unsupported encryption on some doorbells and cameras. Sonos and SimpliSafe say they support it. Blink, Arlo and Nintendo’s pages don’t mention it.
This guide sorts each brand by what its own support page says. It also separates official statements from forum reports.
WPA3 Smart Home Devices at a Glance
Here is the quick view. “Silent” means the page I read doesn’t mention WPA3. It does not mean the device fails.
| Brand | What the vendor page says | Label |
|---|---|---|
| iRobot Roomba | “We do not support WPA3 security.” | Official: no |
| Ring | WPA3 named as unsupported on listed doorbells and cameras | Official: no, on listed devices |
| Sonos | WPA3 on 31 listed products, not on S1 setups | Official: yes, by product |
| SimpliSafe | WPA2, WPA3 or WPA2/3 mixed mode | Official: yes |
| Blink | Lists WEP, WPA and WPA2 with TKIP, no WPA3 | Silent |
| Nintendo Switch | Lists WEP, WPA-PSK (AES) and WPA2-PSK (AES), no WPA3 | Silent |
| Arlo | Pages I read never mention WPA3 | Silent |
| Wyze | Staff pages I read don’t list WPA3, and users disagree | Community only |
| Roku | Repeated forum questions, which I did not open | Community only |
Most of these pages show no date. SimpliSafe’s is the exception, so check each source before you change your router.
Brands That Say No
Two brands name WPA3 as a problem in their own words.
iRobot. Its setup article states: “We do not support WPA3 security.” The page doesn’t say what happens in a mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode. Our Roomba 5GHz wifi guide covers the band and model details.
Ring. Ring’s security protocols page explains the error. It appears when a device finds a network with encryption it can’t use, “for example WPA3.” It lists five affected devices:
- Ring Video Doorbell 3
- Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus
- Ring Video Doorbell 4
- Stick Up Cam Pro
- Spotlight Cam Pro
Ring’s fix is to change the network type to WPA2-Personal, or use a separate 2.4 GHz WPA2 network. It also says to set PMF (Protected Management Frames) to Disabled if that option appears.
The page doesn’t say which Ring devices do support WPA3. A separate Ring FAQ lists WPA2, WPA and WEP, and doesn’t mention WPA3. Our Ring incompatible network guide walks through the fix.
Brands That Say Yes
Two brands document support for WPA3 smart home devices, with limits.
Sonos. Sonos’s standards page names products that “can connect to WiFi using WPA3 security in addition to WPA and WPA2.” The list has 31 products, including the Era 100, Era 300, Beam (Gen 2), Arc Ultra and Move 2.
Eight products are named on the page but not in the WPA3 list:
- One (Gen 1)
- Play:1, Play:3 and Play:5 (Gen 2)
- Sub (Gen 1) and Sub (Gen 2)
- SYMFONISK Bookshelf (Gen 1)
- SYMFONISK Table lamp (Gen 1)
There is one more limit. Sonos adds that WPA3 “is not available” for products set up with the S1 Controller app. The page shows no date, only a 2026 footer.
SimpliSafe. Its requirements page says: “Your network must be configured as WPA2, WPA3, or WPA2/3 Mixed Mode.” It was updated October 9, 2026. Our SimpliSafe base station offline guide covers its other network rules.
Brands That Stay Silent
For these brands, WPA3 smart home devices are a gap in the documentation.
Blink. Its network requirements page lists “WEP, WPA, WPA2 with TKIP SSID.” WPA3 isn’t mentioned, and the page shows no date. Our Blink Sync Module offline guide covers the wording.
Nintendo Switch. Nintendo’s network page says the console supports “WEP, WPA-PSK(AES), and WPA2-PSK(AES).” WPA3 isn’t mentioned. Our Nintendo Switch can’t find wifi guide explains the router checks.
Arlo. The Arlo support page I read, dated “08.01.2025,” never mentions WPA3. I can’t tell you whether an Arlo hub works with it.
Community-Only Reports
For some WPA3 smart home devices, I found no answer from staff in the pages I read.
A Wyze forum thread from March 2025 shows users disagreeing. One said the Cam v4 connects on WPA3. Another said theirs failed on WPA3-only and worked on WPA2. No staff replied on the page I read.
Roku’s community has repeated threads asking about WPA3, including one titled “When will WPA3 support be available on Roku?” I did not open them, so I can’t say what they conclude.
Treat community reports as tests, not answers. They show a pattern, but not what a vendor supports.
What to Do on Your Router
The vendor pages suggest a simple order for WPA3 smart home devices.
How to approach it:
- List your devices, and note which brand pages say no or stay silent
- If any device is silent or says no, test it on a separate 2.4GHz WPA2 network
- Keep WPA3 on a different network name for devices that support it
- Change one setting at a time, and note your old settings so you can undo them
Step 2 follows Ring’s own advice for its devices. Applying it to other brands is my suggestion, not a vendor statement.
Mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode is another test. Only SimpliSafe’s page names it. Ring’s page doesn’t mention mixed mode, and iRobot’s page doesn’t address it. So results vary by device.
What These Pages Don’t Say
- Most pages show no date, so a newer firmware may change the answer.
- Silent pages don’t prove a device lacks WPA3.
- I couldn’t read Lorex’s compatibility table, so it isn’t included.
- I found no usable Amazon Echo page, so Echo is left out.
- I didn’t test any device myself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do smart home devices support WPA3? Some do and some don’t. Sonos and SimpliSafe document support, while iRobot and Ring say no for listed devices. Blink, Nintendo and Arlo pages don’t mention it.
Does Roomba support WPA3? No. iRobot states: “We do not support WPA3 security.” Use WPA2, or a separate 2.4GHz WPA2 network.
Does Ring support WPA3? Ring names WPA3 as unsupported on five devices. They are the Video Doorbell 3, 3 Plus and 4, plus two pro cameras. Its pages don’t list which devices do support it.
Does Sonos support WPA3? Yes, on 31 listed products. Sonos says WPA3 is not available on products set up with the S1 Controller app.
What should I do if a device won’t connect after I enable WPA3? Create a separate 2.4GHz WPA2 network for it. That is Ring’s documented fix, and I suggest it for other brands as a test.
The Bottom Line
WPA3 smart home devices fall into three groups on vendor pages. iRobot and Ring say no, Sonos and SimpliSafe say yes, and Blink, Nintendo and Arlo are silent. Test silent devices on a separate 2.4GHz WPA2 network, and keep WPA3 for devices that document it. Most pages show no date, so recheck before you change settings. Change one setting at a time, and note your old settings so you can undo them.
