Security methods

Ive just purchased a wifi repeater ive set it up to my RBR50 and security method is set to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and when im log on with my phone to the repeater is saying Weak Security WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) is not concidered secure 

use WPA3 or WPA2/WPA3

 

does anyone now when they are going to upgrade firmware for the WPA3 option

Model: RBR50|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router

This appears inconsistent.  These old Orbis (2016 era) offer only three security options (see attachment).

It is true that TKIP was superseded by WPA2  (see Wikipedia for information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access )

If the Orbi is set to WPA-PSK/WPA2/PSK, that is different from WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

 

So, which device is complaining about security? (phone or Orbi?)
