For testing#, I have a 5GHz SSID set to use only WPA3/SAE, the 
router/access point is a Draytek 2865ac with latest firmware.

Laptops connect happily, an old Android 9 tablet misinterprets it as 
802.1x so cannot connect, my up-to-date Pixel8a sees it, asks for the 
PSK but fails to connect and asks again.

Does anyone have an Android* device device which they KNOW is using WPA3 
(either by choice, or because there is no other option)?



[*] I believe it needs to be Android 10 or newer to use WPA3

[#] Any suggestions to say "use WPA2" or "use mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode" are 
missing the point.
