HP Photosmart 6520 Not Able to Connect to WPA3 WiFi

[LindseyZ19]

Hi! I have the HP Photosmart 6520 All-in-one printer. I recently got a new modem/router from our internet provider with the same Network ID/password and the printer would no longer connect. I noticed that if I change the WiFi settings from WPA3 to WPA2, then the printer connects/works as expected. I don't know if my previous modem/router was WPA2 or WPA3, but want to assume it must have been WPA2 because of this new issue.

Is this a known limitation with this printer to only support WPA2 and not support WPA3?

Thank you!

Welcome to the HP English Community --

It's an old printer - WPA3 was not even a thing when the printer was manufactured.

I found a review for this printer dated 2012.

Regardless, it is true >> The printer does not support WPA3.
