Under Settings>Wifi>Advanced, it lists my current network as WPA3 personal. However, using system report>Wifi, it lists it as WPA2 personal. This has happened for two different networks now, and given both were in different countrys, different isp's and had different hardware for the routers, this unlikely to be an issue on the router end. So which one is correct, or am I misunderstanding what both of these mean?

Usually, routers have a dual setting, like WPA2/WPA, WPA3-Personal/WPA2-PSK (Personal), in order to provide support for older devices, that don’t support the newest standard. The device chooses the best protocol that it supports.
