iPhone 16 Pro cannot rejoin the WAX210 when it is set to WPA3

Same issue here: iPhone 16 Pro cannot rejoin the WAX210 when it is set to WPA3, it says invalid password. I have to reboot the iPhone to rejoin. Changing the WAX210 to WPA2 resolves the issue. Maybe Netgear's WPA3 implementation is not up to scratch?

    Does this happen with a different wifi router that has WPA3 only set on it with the iphone? 

    What iOS version are you using on the iphone?

    Do you have the mac address randomizer disabled when the phone attempts to reconnect? Should be disabled while at home or set to Fixed.
