This morning, I closed the chapter on the RT-BE92U. I couldn't resolve the issue with the smart devices, and this morning I tried the following before giving up.
Do a fresh setup from a hard factory reset
Configured all three bands as separate SSIDs (usual setup this way)
Turned off WiFi 7 for all bands for 6Ghz
Set all bands to WPA 2 personal (only) other than 6Ghz.
Disabled 6Ghz so it was just a dual band router like the RT-AX86U
Nothing solved the issue, and it's way past the return period since I got it last year right on release day practically.
So I tossed it out, since I was tired of swapping things back and forth and just wanted things to be stable for now.
So, I'm using my RT-AX86U as my router now, and the RT-BE92U was a good router while it worked, and I was able to use it as a daily driver. So, either the firmware went bad, or the hardware. Either way, it's no longer my problem.
When I bought it last year, I didn't need anything greater than WiFi 6, I got it because I was looking to upgrade to faster Ethernet capabilities, so I would have some grow room going forward.
