If you’re in the market for a new Wi-Fi router, you’ll want to get one that supports WPA3, the latest security protocol for networking devices.

After more than a decade of using the same security standards, more than 500,000 consumer-grade routers around the world were breached last year by hackers using the nefarious VPNFilter malware that originated from Russia. The Wi-Fi Alliance, a group of companies certifying devices capable of data transmission over Wi-Fi, has now updated the commonly implemented security protocol for Wi-Fi enabled devices. It’s also starting to certify products that support WPA3.
