    Wi-fi 7 being worthless because of idiotic forced wpa3 and being impossible to deploy well in anything but the easiest of deployments is sad.

          That would have been true of any upgrade to the WPA algorithm, WPA2 was released in the mid 2000s.

          Although I didn’t know it was mandatory for WiFi 7. At the end of the day you should be able to pick if you want to run WPA2 or WPA3.

            Yeah, the trouble is with the fact that there is essentially no way use a single SSID for all you devices if you want wifi 7.

            WPA2, and you can’t run 7. Turn on 7, and not all your devices can connect.

            To get the best of both you have to split your network into two SSIDs.
