From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Win 11, Something like Intel® Wireless-AC 6000. I dont remember if its 6258 or something like that, I just know its let's than 9000 which is the minimum Intel requires for wpa3 for whatever reason. I can find the exact model # tomorrow if youre interested
I see.
There is no way to use wpa3 in windows with that wireless adapter.
Some of the answers provided itt will work:
running a vm hosted on windows with hardware passthrough and some simple operating system which does support wpa3 on that adapter bridged to your windows installation.
Running windows in a vm for lockdown browser has worked for me in the past. Try it and see. I used qemu.
Since you talked about it being your network and not some other person or institutions, you could always run two wireless networks, one supporting wpa3 and one supporting wpa2.
I do that everywhere for 2.5/5g so older devices can still connect to the wireless. If youre worried about a wpa3 thing connecting to the wpa2 network you can set them up with different passwords.
Is there a specific benefit of wpa3 you’re trying to get?
E: you could use a sbc that supports wpa3 and has an Ethernet port as some kind of mutant firewall/gateway like you do when tethering your phone, but that’s kinda silly…
E2: laptop or desktop? If laptop, what specific model? Often the wireless cards in laptops are replaceable and you could always put one in that has wpa3 in both Linux and windows.
Ideally I want to use wpa3 as its the latest standard and all of my devices (except windows) are able to use it. I left the model number in the other response you left :P
Hey, post the model of your laptop and I’ll point you at a replacement wireless card that can do what you want.
Its a "Sager N870HK"
If this is your laptop then it uses an “a” keyed card like this one for $30, which is listed as supporting wpa3 in windows according to intel.
Awesome, Thanks
