Some people might not be aware but having WPA3 on a GL router does not guarantee that you will even be able to use it.
For example, users on Windows need to be running the May 2019 Update, and for example with Intel cards which most laptops use, only these have support for WPA3:
- Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201
- Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200
- Intel® Wireless-AC 9560
- Intel® Wireless-AC 9462
- Intel® Wireless-AC 9461
- Intel® Wireless-AC 9260
My 2 year old laptop did not have one of those cards, but i did swap it out for another reason.
Apple users need to be on iOS13 or later.
Android users need to use Android Q aka Android 10, which is also a limited list of devices that currently have it:
- Google Pixel 4
- Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL
- Google Pixel 3a / Pixel 3a XL
- Google Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL
- Google Pixel / Pixel XL
- Essential Phone
- OnePlus 7T
- OnePlus 7T Pro
Samsung, Huawei and others will probably only update their latest flagships to Android 10, all older phones will be left in the dark as usual. Those updates won’t happen until the beginning of 2020.
And the cherry on top is this:
The Wi-Fi Alliance then made some suggestions on how to fix it, which ironically caused more side attacks, woopsie 
It will probably only be fixed when WPA3.1 or something like that is made standard in another 10 years.

So kids, stick to using LAN cables if you want to be more secure or always use a VPN when on wifi
