Mixed mode WPA3/2 on RAX45 from Costco
I picked up the RAX45-100NAS from Costco. I'm planning to use it as an access point where I've recently added some AX and WPA3 capable clients. I still need to service the AC/WPA2 clients in the area (ROKU, cameras, ...).
Does this router support mixed mode WPA3/2 or must I stay with WPA2 so long as there are WPA2 clients? If this is the case I may return the router as I've not yet opened the box.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Mixed mode WPA3/2 on RAX45 from Costco
It turns out mixed mode (wpa2/wpa3) negated the whole benefits of wpa3 as they found it opened the network to attacks the same as wpa2.
Not sure with the more recent firmware for that model but the newer devices have all had or will have mixed mode pulled for either just wpa2 or wpa3.
I'd try using wpa3 and see if your devices work. All of mine have worked fine of wpa3.
