AX56 aimesh node shows open access (no password or security)

Problem: AX56 FW3004.388.8_4 in an aimesh network that shows the access as open.
Situation: The main router and aimesh host is an RT-BE96 FW 3006.102.5. An RT-AX88 is also a aimesh node. The backhaul for all routers is wired.
Security on the BE96 is WPA2/WPA3 personal.
Security on the AX56 and AX88 are default.
The AiProtection utility on the BE96 is ON and shows no problem

On a wireless windows pc, the utility Netsetman (Copyright Ilja Herlein, version 5.4.0) )shows the AX56 node as open, without security, on 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. The AX88 and BE96 show as WPA2+3 AES encrypted.

Is there a way to configure the AX56 to force WPA2+3 AES encryption?
 
Is the node really open or just an App is showing is this way?
