Getting a privacy alert on my network. How do I resolve this issue?
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?

iPhone 12 message when accessing wifi network on orbi750. Showing privacy alert in settings when on orbi network. What can be done to eliminate privacy warning?
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,

- Setting is at wpa3 personal and still getting privacy alert. No alert when using guest network. Is this something I should worry about?
No its apple saying you're not using private mac/ip address feature. on a home network, its fine.
