V2 WPA3 support - Does anyone have it working?

After not addressing it for 15-months, it’s an outright lie. I was once a fanboy too, but no more.

Maybe try Roku? Cams look similar.

Thanks for the suggestion and recommendation. I just did a bit of digging on the Roku Smart Home lineup. The reason everything looks so familiar is due to the fact that they have partnered with WYZE to rebrand and sell their products. Unfortunately the Roku site does not mention anything about the types of 2.4GHz wireless security that their products support. I could speculate…

I spent about 3 minutes looking and so far this D-Link is the only camera I’ve found (other than the V2) that claims to support WPA3.

Yes Sir, I found that camera as well. By the way, WYZE quietly went back and modified the release notes for the July 2021 V2 firmware. No longer will you see WPA3 listed. However, we all know it was there at one point in time. I have it documented in my first post in this very thread.

Here is how the modified release notes look:
4.9.7.798 (July 21, 2021)

  • Improved an issue that caused Cam Plus Events to skip or lose frames
  • Changed the MP4 audio format
  • Reduced the time for receiving push notifications
  • Improved sound detection sensitivity
  • Fixed a bug that caused a loud sound in Playback if sound was already enabled in the live stream
  • Improved camera stability
  • Security improvements

This is why I am not a fan of only having information stored digitally. It is FAR too easy for those that hold the keys to modify it down the road. The sad thing is many bills (aka laws) being passed by congress are now only available digitally and there never was a hard copy of the original sent to the archives. We truly are living in George Orwell’s 1984!

Wyze has always been at war with Eastasia.

It’s pretty stinky of them to do that and not ever formally answer your repeated questions about the missing feature.

I keep staring at my siding and wondering just where I’m best off plunging 5-6 Ethernet cables through the wall so I can use PoE cameras and avoid this whole mess. Getting a little tired of refreshing TinyCam when it stops seeing one of my WiFi camera feeds too.

I did that. I will freely admit it was there and I have yet to find out exactly what happened (I was not an employee when that firmware was released). It was removed because it was either not working or not in that firmware. It should be coming out in the next few releases. I have been pushing to get this done, but I did remove the statement that it was released since it never worked. I did not want people looking and seeing it was released then realizing it didn’t work.

Thank you for taking the time to explain what happened and for being forthcoming. Have you by chance heard anything about WPA3 for the V3’s? Do you know if the new V3-“pro” camera will support WPA3?

Thank you again @WyzeJasonJ

I have one of those V3 pros on order. If I get it before he answers I’ll let you know if I find anything in the documents.

I’m becoming a bigger and bigger fan of this Jason guy. A guy like that needs more pull.

Don’t worry. There’s no way he can exert enough clamping pressure with those two fingers. It’s as if he never held a tool before.

Nice chompers, though. You could really move up with teeth like that.

The real unanswered question is if he chose to have his moustache 45 days ahead of his beard.

Moustache has the edge. It gets more O and CO2 perched between two vents on the upper lip.

Beard envies 'stache but can’t compete. It is stolid.

Still oblivious.

Now that’s just wrong.

I have WPA3 enabled on my Google Wifi pucks and have 1 V1, 4 V2,s and 4 V3’s all running on wifi as expected. I have not setup a cam since switching from WPA2 to WPA3 early last year but none of them has lost connection because of it. V2 firmware is v4.9.9.1772, installed via the iOS Wyze Beta app (except the one V2 i have on my Wyze Car which has not updated firmware in a while and still works)

It sounds as if all your V1, V2s, and V3s are just connecting to the router in its fallback WPA2 mode.
