What is HNEA.
What is HNEA and should I have this enabled on my router…1st time ive seen this. And why don’t we have WPA3? Hasn’t that security level been out for while now?
Forum Discussion
Could you give some context where you are seeing HNEA? Maybe a picture uploaded to Imgur? I couldn't find a definition online but my guess is Home Network something Automation? I am hoping the context of where the option is will give a clue to the E. Ethernet?
As for WPA3 you need at least Wi-Fi 6(AX) devices to support it so most routers have a mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode. If not you can change that in the settings. What model router do you have for instructions?
It's weird how a Forum search couldn't find this 5-year-old post about "HNEA." Two OPs but both questions are also worded the same.
Anybody got the Panoramic? Is there a Systems Basic Setup page? If so, is there an HNEA checkbox at the bottom?

There shouldn't be an HNEA checkbox, It's a microsoft thing specific to their Internet Information Services for Windows, though it's still free from Microsoft and it will run on Windows 10.

I agree. This utility would not be on a router...but it's what HNEA meant back in the day...unless Cox or the manufacturer adopted "the abbreviation."
I also didn't write this feature is on the Pano. Mouth wanted a definition and the only official definition is HelpNow! EasyAccess.
It's odd these initials have been around for at least 5 years but nobody knows what it means. Home Network Event Alerts?
