WPA2/WPA3 for Nighthawk CAX80

I'm looking at getting the Nighthawk CAX80 Wifi Cable router.  I'm looking for the latest and greatest in security and did not see listed the ability to have WPA3 on this router.  Can anyone tell me if this router has the ability to switch between WPA2 and WPA3?

 

Thank you for the help.

    It does not:

    Also there are current known problems with WPA3 working with WPA2 in mixed mode. 

    Also WPA3 has already been compromised. So stick with WPA2 and AES for now.
