My Norton virus protection says I should update my WiFi security to WPA2/WPA3 Personal (AES). I have the latest firmware update. I don't find this level of security in the router setup. Is there a way to upgrade it?

It is probably just trying to scare you with warnings of a newish security protocol, WPA3, that has yet to reach most devices. If you have not already implemented WPA2, then your router already supports it.
But the R6080 is pretty well the bottom of the range Netgear router. According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX. Nothing wrong with it being slow, just don't expect too much.
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Home WiFi Adapters and Powerline. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but Powerline is nothing like a router so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
