Router - Orbi RBR753 (AX4200)
Firmware version - V4.6.5.14
Main OS for my devices - Windows
Under wireless settings configuration; it should have an option to use WPA2 + WP3 as one of the security option to allow to use same SSID for devices which support WPA3 and some support WPA2 or below. Currently, I have to use guest network (with WPA2) for my own device which does not support WPA3.

Interesting. Firmware check It isn't offering me any updates.

Yes. Manually. RBS first, then RBR lastly:

v7 been out since last year.
Thanks. I ran the updates (but did the router first) an all is well. WPA2 & 3 mixed mode enabled. Toyed with the new iOT feature, but it appears mostly window dressing, so it is back off.
IoT is to help get those problematic IoT devices connected to a MESH system thats been a hassel over past several years.
See you in the AX and AXE forums.
Enjoy.
