CableLabs is urging chipset vendors and hardware makers to prioritize support for the Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA3-Personal Compatibility Mode (PCM), which shifts WPA3/Wi-Fi 7 security info into RSNO elements while advertising WPA2-Personal through legacy RSN elements. Why: If you deploy or support Wi-Fi 7 access points in mixed-device environments (offices, co-working spaces, retail), expect older client devices to silently fail to connect under WPA3 Transition Mode. When procuring Wi-Fi 7 hardware, check whether the vendor supports PCM to avoid support headaches with legacy kit. networking wifi7 wpa3 infrastructure
