Edimax AC600 USB WiFi Dongle Problem

I don’t think that Ropieee supports WPA3 on an RPi using the built in WiFi. There were certainly issues at one point:

On the topic of WPA3

As some of you found out the unpleasant way: WPA3 is broken with the last RoPieee release. I’ve spending most part of the weekend of diving into kernels, firmware updates (there is firmware of the WiFi chipset involved) and figuring out why is it broken now. It seems this is a combination of things: so far I’ve figured out for the Pi 3 (the 4 and 5 are next on my list) why it doesn’t work: we needed to switch to the new kernel for the Pi 5, but it seems that WPA3 is broken for the Pi 3. Which …

which necessitated its removal:

RoPieee, WiFi and WPA3

Hi all, With the release of 2024.04, we ran into a regression with WPA3. The subsequent patch series fixed this, but it took quite some sorcery to do so. While investigating the issue, it became clear that this was not ‘my fault’: there was an issue with the firmware of the WiFi chipset on the Raspberrry Pi. The WiFi chipset on the Raspberry Pi needs a) a driver: a piece of software that makes it possible to ‘drive’ the chipset. In other words, tell it what it needs to do. However, the chipse…

As suggested in the linked article, If you really must use WPA3, then you can use a USB WiFi dongle on your RPi.
