Thank you for your 2 cents. It helped, kind of... I still need to do a New System Setup everytime. I reboot the modem, but so far Internet works on Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus.
I did this:

Select Network and Internet.
Select WiFi.
Connect to the UT wireless network (UT Open or EDUROAM)
Tap the gear icon next to the current wifi connection.
Select Advanced.
Select Privacy.
Select "Use device MAC"
If you disable the AX feature, you might as well just return the device and get a WI-FI AC device and save the money.

The suggestion of disabling of AX mode on the modem is a troubleshooting step to see if the changes the interaction behavior between the modem and the wifi device. Some devices have some problems with AX mode being enabled, AX supporting or not. So temporarily disabling AX mode on the modem might help with some difference experiences and seems to be some sort of issue with one specific brand and model of Samsung devices. One does not have to keep AX mode disabled ALL the time.
Users are encouraged to contact both NG and Samsung regarding there experiences and hopefully some here, something will get fixed.
