Microsoft recently released beta version of Windows 11 number 22557 with a lot of innovations, among which there was such an interesting one as the refusal to work with equipment that supports the old WEP and TKIP encryption protocols.

WEP debuted in 2002 and TKIP debuted in 2013. Since then, many vulnerabilities have been discovered in them, which are well known to hackers and are used to carry out attacks. Obviously, it was only a matter of time to withdraw their support, and now that time has come.

When attempting to establish a connection with WEP or TKIP security, Windows 11 will display a pop-up window warning you to use a more modern encryption protocol. For most modern Wi-Fi routers, this is not a problem, since they support the same WPA2 (and some WPA3), but for older equipment this is critical.
