WPA3 issues
I just repalced my RBK52 to RBK852 and so far everything works great except major WPA3 hiccup I thought WPA3 supposed to be a backward compatible but some devices cannot connect the network if I set...
This is the mixed mode I referred to. Once NG implements this on the 850 RBR, then users will have backwards compability. Currently there is no mixed mode, It's either WPA3 stand alone or WPA and WPA2 mixed. NG will need to get WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 mixed modes to play all together for backwards compatibility.

Seriously?!? Oh nooooooo what a *****. Would have checked the fine documentation, however there is still no Orbi (AX) User Manual publisehd.
Ya, NG is working on it. Future updates should have the full mixed mode. We hope. :smileytongue:
FURRYe38 Right away for the official product sales start (not before Nov 1st 2019 in Europe, or Nov 11 2019 in the States) one might hope ...
I was wondering why some places are making the 852 available sooner than expected. I presume it's these retail stores that are now selling them before the annouced date?
Oh, no wonder when I selected "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" from the iPhone app during initial setup it kept going back to just "WPA3-Personal"
The iPhone App lists "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" as an option but then the web UI says "WPA3-Personal [SAE]" with no WPA2/WPA3 option.
Yes the Orbi app won't be compatible with that setting on the RBR. Hopefully NG will get the mixed security modes going in a future update. Please be patient.
