WPA3 - legacy devices on RBR750 (wpa2 and wpa3 not allowed)
I'm running a RBR750 with 2 satelites with fw V4.6.5.14. I just updated the security to wpa3 and see that about 15 of my devices don't support the wpa3, including some work laptops I use. Is there a way to run mixed mode security (WPA2 and WPA3) so that all of my devices will be able to connect?
If not, I'll have to roll back to WPA2 for the next couple of years until all devices support WPA3. I logged into the web interface, but the wireless encryption modes seem to allow only one security format (either WPA3 or WPA2). I've also searched the forums with no luck.
For a while there was a mixed mode but it was removed when it was found to have its own issues.
Maybe it'll be coming back? Not sure as netgear doesn't release firmware update plans.
for the time being, I'd drop back to wpa2

Thanks for the reply. It's a shame mixed mode isn't operational. WPA3 is useless for most without mixed mode. No one wants to upgrade all of their in house devices and hope they support WPA3
