EOL wifi card in G522

Stevedg

Hi Mike,
I've had my G522 for over a year and have been very happy with it.

Recently I purchased a new Wifi 7 based router. After hooking it up I noticed that the Wifi connection from my G522 was only using WPA2 rather than the newer WPA3 security. This prompted me to check further.
The G522 has an intel Dual Band wireless ac 3168 card. It is limited to Wifi 5 technology. Additionally it is listed as being EOL.
I have a couple of concerns.
1) Future compatibility with Windows updates since no new drivers will be created for the card.
2) Security concerns for the above and also for the lower security of WPA2 vs WPA3, and other security benefits of the newer Wifi 7 standard.

I should mention that my P.C. connection to the router is via Ethernet cable. However I do use wifi from the P.C. to connect to my printer (The wifi print driver for my Canon printer is better than the buggy Ethernet based driver for the printer).

So the question is should I bother installing a new Wifi card that is Wifi 7 capable?
If so do you have a suggestion as to which one to choose?

Am I being over cautious with these concerns? Knowing that installing new hardware always risks being a time waster and introducing new problems,
would you advise replacing the Wifi card as discussed above, or simply "leaving well enough alone"?
I would really appreciate your opinion on this.
Thanks,
Steve G

Security would not be my concern here. I would only add a WIFI card for speed, rather than security.
