MT3000 not able to connect to wifi with WPA2/WPA3 mixed

Routers

My GL-MT3000 on firmware 4.7.4

It cannot properly connect to a WiFi using mixed WPA2/WPA3 in repeator mode.
If I changed my primary router to use WPA2 only, it works.

From the log, it shows:

It seems like due to WPA3/WPA2 Auth failure.

Hello,

We did not reproduce the issue in my MT3000:
primary router MT6000 + WPA2/3, MT3000 repeater is normal to connected to MT6000.

  1. Does the primary router WiFi have other parameters/configurations? Please PM me to share the encryption configuration.

  2. Please SSH to router MT3000, execute the command:
    iwpriv ra0 set debug=5:13
    Perform a repeater connection to primary WiFi using WPA2/3, export the syslog "logread.tar", and PM it to me.
