Were hoping NG will implement a Mixed Mode WPA2 and WPA3 option on there Orbi AX systems. They had it early one however there were problems found with mixed mode so it was removed. I believe they have been fixed so were hoping in future FW updates, NG will add it back in for compatibility across older and newer devices.
