I've been watching the problems that continue to show up with the connection handshake between ASUS routers running newer firmwares and clients. It is continuing to look like the problem lies in the newer security protocols of ASUS firmwares involving MAC address randomization - after reading one user's account of how his Android 10 and 12 clients have responded to connection. This is looking like a common issue among users experiencing client connection issues and I believe this is something ASUS should begin looking into immediately.
