Rax20: when will netgear re-enable wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode

Rax20: when will netgear (re)enable wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode? Model was sold with firmware supporting wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode, but firmware updates removed compatibility feature forcing users to choose between wpa2 and wpa3. NB: any link about technical difficulties or security issues about wpa2/wpa3 compatibility implementation will be appreciated ! Thanks

    This is a community forum. Only NETGEAR/DNI devs know that. We don't have insider information

      Yes I understand that netgear research and source cannot be disclosed.

      But I cannot believe that wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode is not being investigated by open source solutions, since it seems to be a general problem, and even world wide one, as we of course know that it is impossible today to have a full park of wpa3 without wpa2 except for multi billionaires. Then I guess we can find details about it.

      Thanks
