I then went on and disabled WPA2+WPA3 mode on the Wi-Fi router and set it to WPA2 (CCMP).

After that, the connection was established successfully with 2.10.

If I remember correctly, my hardware doesn't support WPA3, but since I enabled support for both WPA2+WPA3, it should fall back to WPA2.

Obviously I'd like to keep WPA3 enabled for newer clients.

5 Adjusting FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi security settings

If the wireless device still does not establish a connection to the FRITZ!Box, it does not support the modern security functions used by the FRITZ!Box. To connect the wireless device anyway, you must adjust the security settings in the FRITZ!Box:
Disabling WPA3 transition mode (WPA2 + WPA3)

WPA transition mode allows simultaneous connections with WPA3 and WPA2 encryption using the same Wi-Fi network name and network key. With connections with WPA2 encryption, however, WPA3 transition mode has higher security requirements than usual for WPA2 (CCMP).

Some wireless devices cannot establish a Wi-Fi connection if WPA3 transition mode is enabled. This is the case with iPhones and iPads with iOS older than 12.1.1, older wireless printers, IP cameras, and wireless plugs, for example:

Still curious, why this worked flawlessly with this device with 2.9.0-23
