Netgear AX8 RAX70 Router Guest Network

Looking for some assistance with setting up the Guest wifi's on my AX8 RAX70 router.  When I set up any or all 3 of the Guest wifi's with WPA2 security, I receive a pop up message stating that WPA3 Personal is a better protocol but when I try setting up WPA3 the router errors with the picture of a dinosaur with the message 'no internet'.  I don't believe I have any network devices that use WPA3 and would like to set up all 3 guest wifi bands using WPA2.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you set WPA2 and get past the WPA3 message screen?

Any? The point is that 6 GHz is always a 802.11ax connection, and WPA3(-Personal) is mandatory, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK isn't a valid choice - and nothing to believe.

 

Get a fancy message like this one? In fact this is a fancy error message, implemented on Chrome as a game 8-)

 

Google added a T. Rex side-scrolling mini-game to Chrome Canary in mid-2014 and eventually introduced it to the browser's stable build. The game is playable by hitting the space bar or up arrow when you come across a connection error screen with the dinosaur.

Its mechanics are simple, involving jumping and ducking oncoming cacti and pterodactyls, and although it displays your progress and high score, both are lost when the window is closed or refreshed.

 

You can play the game without waiting for your connection to fail by opening the following address in a Chrome tab:

 

chrome://network-error/-106

 

On Edge, it's a little bit more obvious:

Said this: On the Netgear support pages, the RAX70 went bust or lost somehow. Yes, it's a nice Netgear router, offered in the market on a discount chain. @Iphie_C @IphieChen work for you.
