Question Router (Home Network): OWE authentication question

[numnut]

Using a wifi analyzer shows that my router authentication is using OWE. I live in a congested area (apartment living/NYC). The dozens of other routers in the area are all displaying WPA2 authentication. I had intentionally set my router to WPA3/WPA2 months ago. Clients list is naturally a mix: desktop's, laptop's, cell phones, and a printer. All are protocol AC or AX except the printer (x.802.11b/g/n).

Is my setup incorrect, weaker, dangerous, etc...? See attachment

I guess I should've asked this on the "Graphics Card" thread

What Is OWE? What Problems Does OWE Solve? - Huawei

Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE), a Wi-Fi Enhanced Open authentication mode, provides open Wi-Fi access and encrypts data through DH key exchange.

If your Router is Cisco there are pages there that explain everything including how to Disable it.

Appreciate the response. I had seen that Cisco paper before but it was over my head as a prerequisite of following along was understanding a larger enterprise network, ie: 3000 AP's and 25,000+ clients. I'm not quite there yet. And the Huawei paper reads like a number of other's I've read but never gets to that bottom line that would explain why my router, only capable of wpa3 at most, is displaying OWE authentication when no such capability is shown as a choice.

In any case, thanks again for responding.
