I am running the latest build - v3.0-r61848 std (06/24/25)

For best security, can I use WPA3 on Archer C7 v5?
This post https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/190742
gives me the sense that the hardware can support WPA3.

For wlan0 and wlan1
I chose WPA3 Personal / SAE

WPA Algorithms
only choice is CCMP-128 (AES) - left that blank
Key Renewal interval 3600
WPA strict rekeying disable
disable EAPOL Key Retries disable
SSID protection in 4-way handshake disable

I have tried to connect a circa 2024 laptop but 1) it only shows 1 of the 2 wireless networks; 2) unable to login - it just re-prompts for the password.
I did have this laptop connected to this router with WPA2 Personal.

Edit:
wlan0
network mode: N/G Mixed
wlan1
network mode: Mixed

I do see in the help, "With N-Mode you must use WPA2/AES." But, I am not sure how to interpret that.

It must be selected.
