Explanation

For a small business with a single SSID and no guest network, where low administrative overhead is paramount, WPA3-Personal provides the strongest protection without the complexity of a RADIUS server. It uses the Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) handshake to resist offline dictionary attacks, automatically handles key negotiation, and requires no additional infrastructure compared to WPA2-Personal - yet delivers superior security.
