To use TabNav with react-router or react-router-dom, pass as={NavLink} and omit the selected prop. This ensures that the NavLink gets activeClassName='selected'

Attention: Make sure to properly label your TabNav with an aria-label to provide context about the type of navigation contained in TabNav.
