Hello Venturer51,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are getting security alert on your Orbi RBR750 network.
I just have two questions for you:
Which device on your network is showing a privacy alert?
What application is showing you the security notification?
Best,
Kevin

Its usually iphones wanting users to use private/random ip/mac information. Not really needed on your home network. but without screensnips to show if that's actually the message, its just a guess.
might look a little bit on apples forums. here's one of the first results on privacy warning on wifi.

Hello Venturer51 ,
Thank you for providing that information!
The issue you are experiencing may be occurring because your Orbi network is not using the latest wireless password encryption (WPA3-Personal [SAE]). To resolve this issue please use WPA3-Personal as your password security options.
Please follow the instructions below to change the wireless password security encryption for your RBR750:
First, Navigate to orbilogin.com
Next, Select the wireless option
Now on the right, select WPA3-Personal [SAE] (Located under security options)
Then, select apply.
Best,
Kevin
