Hello everyone,
I can’t get my laptop to connect to my WIFI when I use WPA2/3 instead of WPA/WPA2. It says “login / password required” but I entered the correct password. The network shows as WPA3 network but WPA/WPA2 Personal auth is automatically selected on first connect attempt. Changing to WPA3 Personal does not help. (This refers to the Gnome UI tool which is network manager AFAIK.)
Router is a Fritz Box 7490. It supports 2,4 and 5 Ghz but I use 2,4 Ghz because the laptop card does not support 5 Ghz. I have six devices in the network and no other issues. I use the router’s built-in DHCP.
System is Manjaro with Gnome, freshly installed a few days ago. All packages are up-to-date. Inxi output:

The wireless connection works when I set the router to use WPA/WPA2. The Windows 10 on the same laptop connects to both WPA/WPA2 and WPA2/3. Since I have no experience with Intel cards, I did not try to install any drivers.
I am soon going to move to a place where I can’t configure the router so I’d like to be prepared to use WPA3 networks. Thanks in advance.
