No it doesn't.
You'd have to upgrade to a newer hardware that supports wpa3 if that's what you're wanting.

anirguha So you have the answer you sought, but here's a thread from a couple of years back:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-AC1900-has-MFP/td-p/1773101
Always worth using the search function, especially when asking about the R7000 AC1900, which contains enough threads and repeated questions about the same things. That's not me being in anyway sarcastic, it's just being helpful, that's what the search function is for.
I've just consigned my R7000 AC1900 to the darkest recess of my attic where it belongs. Replaced it with a TP-Link AX6600 GX90 which does have WPA3.
