Saturday
Model: Tapo P125M  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 240830 Rel. 153927

Several P125M plugs were all working fine. I had them connected to Google Home as a Matter coordinator. So I took one and reset it, began the Matter inclusion process to Google Home, and all went well until it tried to connect to my wifi.  This was the same 2.4 GHz network which was working before, but now it won't connect. I checked the networ security setting and it was "WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES]". This looks to me like a WPA2 AES device should connect, but no. I changed the network setting to "WPA2-PSK[AES]+WPA-PSK[TKIP]" and everything works once again.

What's weird is that I was able to set up the plug and control the device in the Tapo app on the WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES] network, and I know that Matter supports AES. So why was it not working?
