Just installed mine and am hitting the same issue. I wrote an expect script to change the password daily on a guest SSID.
basically does this:
wax214>ssidp 4 apsecu 6 passp <passphrase>
wax214>ssidp 4 apsecu 6 accept
wax214>reboot
I left it using WPA2/WPA3 security, the rest of my manually configured SSIDs use WPA2 only. I lost my management connections via ssh and http. I was only able to get to the GUI via the config SSID.
When I saw your post, I spotted you used WPA2/WPA3 - I thought I'd set it to WPA2 via the config SSID gui and management started working again on the LAN.
