I have problem. My Q80T would not connect to wifi router unless it is downgraded from WPA3 to WPA2 and PMF (protect management frames) is disabled. As a router i am using FritzBox 7590. I am suspecting that there might be bug in router firmware not allowing TV to connect. For that reason i would like to know if there was anyone successful connecting QLED 2020 series TV to wifi where there is WPA3 and PMF enabled.

Thank You!

Unacceptable. I have 26 devices linked in my network and all but 2 samsung devices are not able to connect to my main wifi network with WPA3 protocol. A Samsung TV series 4 and the brand new Samsung Freestyle.

My router is a D-link Covr -1100 Mesh.
Has anyone managed to resolve the issue?

I bought a 2024 model and initially had the same problem when it fist connected with WPA2 on an SSID with the same name and then I upgraded hardware and used the same SSID using WPA3.  If I remember correctly, I went into Network Settings on the TV > Wireless > On the wifi selection screen go to the bottom to Manage Known Networks > Delete your SSID > Go back to the Network settings > Reset Network > Then go through the steps to connect to your SSID. 

If you absolutely can't get WPA3 to work most decent routers will allow you to have two main SSID's and a Guest SSID.  Set one up for IOT devices with a different SSID and password and enable network isolation.  The advanced wireless settings on your router will allow you to change the SSID on each and set the WPA security type and password for each. If your advanced wireless options don't have a network isolation setting the Guest network should isolate by default.  With this setup, if someone did manage to capture your hash on WPA2 and crack it, they would still have at least a very difficult time gaining access to other devices and wouldn't have the password to the main network.  Best of luck.
