AX86U and Galaxy S21

[elyl]

Having some issues with my new AX86U and my Galaxy S21 Ultra phone. The S21 is the only Wifi 6 device on the network. Every other device is working fine, but the S21 will variously report that it is "connected without internet", that it "couldn't authenticate connection", or most often it will report that is connected fine, but I get unusable internet (e.g. I will try to load a web page, and perhaps the top third of the webpage will load, but then it will remain loading forever without completing or timing out).

The phone works perfectly fine if I disconnect, and it's running on the mobile connection. It worked fine with the old ISP-provided router.

I have tried:

• turning off Wifi 6 on the router
• forcing the S21 onto 2.4GHz
• forcing it onto 5GHz
• giving it a static IP
• resetting network on the phone
• using my RP-AX56 as an AiMesh, forcing it to connect to the node, forcing it to connect to the router

I'm not sure what else to try.

Incidentally, I have a USB-C to ethernet adapter handy, and tried plugging my phone in to the router directly, and I am getting the same issue with unusable internet (pages half loading). So I guess it's some issue other than the wifi? Here's the system log from around the time I connect the S21 to the wifi (mac addresses removed):

You did not say what your WIFI settings were...
I am not having issues with two WIFI 6 laptops and an iPhone.
Use Dual Band SmartConnect, 2.4 GHz @ 20 MHz on channel 1, 6 or 11 - 5 GHz @ 160 MHz on channel 36, WPA2/WPA3-Personal, Disable Airtime Fairness. WPS is disabled right now as I'm not using AiMesh. I do use Guest 1 on 2.4 GHz WPA2.
If you are experiencing RADAR bounce on the 5 GHz channel use 80 MHZ on a non-DFS channel.

There was an update for my S21 today, and after that, it seems to be working properly, for now anyway.
