TLS 1.2 and not 1.3?

Could a swore we moved to 1.3 a while ago

Also many I'm just not familiar enough with cryptography but that key size seems kinda small.....am I wrong?

Ik RSA uses a different algorithm but RSA it isn't uncommon to see keys 1024 or larger in size. I generated a key of 65,536 and 131,072 bits a few times to see if it would work or break any applications I was using. Also just to I can say "yeah back in my day we generated keys way bigger" cuz I know at least 1 other person in the world did it.

Is their any standard for securing a network both wired and WiFi using a post quantum algorithm?

Also where can I easily find switches that support these standards? AFAIK wpa3 enterprise dosnt always mean this standard is supported....or that some other standard is supported. Is their some database that lists every router/AP and the supported features?

To get 192-bit security with RSA you'd need 7680-bit RSA key and with ECC you need 384-bit key as mentioned in the article. That assumes classical attacks only. For quantum attacks, the smaller key sizes used with ECC do make it weaker.
