Why Netgear disabled Wpa2/Wpa3 mixed mode on Rax38v2?

Wpa2/Wpa3 mixed mode disappeared on my Netgear Rax38v2

firmware is latest.. V1.0.11.112_2.0.77

 

It was available on Rax40v1 but in Rax38v2 It disppear

 

I wonder if there is a plan to support it through an update in the future

Possible that NG hasn't implemented this on this model router yet.

There a picture of this? 

 

Did you factory reset and setup from scratch to be sure after you updated FW? 

What do you see if you downgrade the FW on the RAX38 router?

I've never downgraded so I don't know what I'm seeing

After receiving the router, it was already the latest firmware, and it was initialized and set up

Which picture do you need?

To say that, the v1 intel version had that setting.

However, I remember that there was no such setting in rax10 as well.

Is there an issue with the Broadcom chipset that I don't know about?

Anything is possible with all these different model routers. 

Early days of WPA3 there was problems with having mixed mode with WPA2 and some devices could not connect with it in mixed mode. I saw NG remove the mixed mode from some model routers back then. I see in some NG seems to be slowly graduating adding mixed mode back in. So hopefully that's all that maybe. 

 

I passed this on to NG for there review.
