use WPA3 or WPA2/WPA3
This appears inconsistent. These old Orbis (2016 era) offer only three security options (see attachment).
It is true that TKIP was superseded by WPA2 (see Wikipedia for information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access )
If the Orbi is set to WPA-PSK/WPA2/PSK, that is different from WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
So, which device is complaining about security? (phone or Orbi?)
