GT-AXE 11000 6 ghz band WPA2

[cc666]

Latest firmware installed.
On the drop down I only see OPEN and WPA 3 on the 6 GHZ band.
Is there a way to get WPA2 to show up?

Any help would be appreciated

I believe that WPA3 and OWE are the only permitted authentication methods on 6GHz.

What weird is that in the older firmware that wpa2 option was there. Also n the Asus site
it also shows, see below:

Maybe it was a mistake. Everything I can find online says that only WPA3 and OWE are allowed on the 6GHz band.

Equipment for the band must use Wi-Fi 6 standards, must conform to WPA3 security, and cannot offer older security options like WPA2 and Open modes. For WPA3-Enterprise, the differences are slight and exclude some combinations of WPA2- Enterprise security protocols that could expose vulnerabilities, but these combinations were never configurable on most enterprise class APs. The pre-shared key options for WPA2 are significantly changed and improved with WPA3-Personal, and a new ‘Enhanced Open’ standard replaces Open mode to ensure that over-the-air transmissions are encrypted even without authentication of the client device or the network. These mandates are in line with the Wi-Fi 6 standard, without allowance for backwards-compatibility for older client devices.
