RT-AX5400 wifi on secure network sometimes fails, but guest works

Frequently my secure wifi network will drop out for one or more devices (other devices may be fine, wired devices are always fine). You can connect, but get no internet access. Switching the device to the guest network always works. Turning on and off wifi (reconnecting to secure network) does not work. I think if I move back to a different area/router, it can start working again. This makes me wonder if it's something about Smart Connect - but why is the issue only with internet access, and guest works?
Nothing obvious shows up in logs when this is happening (just one ethernet port that is flaky and drops sometimes or switches between different speeds, and goes to my generator)
