RBR50 WPA2-Personal won’t save

[AppleCh]

I just set up an old Orbi rbr50 and when I try to save he security to WPA2-personal, it always reverts back to WPA2/WPA2-Personal.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!

My RBR50 Orbi offers these choices for WiFi security:

I see no mention of "personal".  Can you please post a screen capture showing that?

My RBR50 is on firmware v2.7.5.4

My firmware is v2.7.4.24 and there are supposedly no upgrades for it.  My iOS devices indicate that the WPA/WPA2-Personal is weak security option.  So I keep trying to select WPA2-Personal. 

Andy my security screen looks different than yours.  You have Wireless Settings where mine is WiFi Settings.  It is Security Method and has three options:

1) None

2) WPA2-Personal

3) WPA/WPA2-Personal

Guess that changed with version v2.7.5.4

Be sure to use a PC or laptop and a web browser to change to WPA2 Personal.
