CAX80: [WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC
# Issue Wifi gets disconnected. Occasionally it gets connected back, but then after indefinite period, many times it's a few seconds, it disconnects again. Then it takes a few minutes to sometimes ...
Got it working so far but not sure yet...as it had been working for a few weeks, then this occasionally bombers us. So in order for us to be confident I'd have to see a few more weeks. Anyways,
# Change I made
- Disabled guest network 2.4 ghz.
- Disabled "Smart Connect" (so that the SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 ghz must be different, which is ok for us)
# What I found before making those changes
- Using wifi analyzer Android app the non-guest 2.4 ghz wifi and guest 2.4 ghz SSIDs are using the same channel. Without knowing much about those, I simply worried, hence the change described above.
# Caveat
- Obviously I cannot use guest 2.4 ghz wifi, which is inconvenient. If this is a bug I'd like to see a fix.

Did you determine that _both_ those changes were required?

What led you to expect otherwise? So far as I know, there's only one
2.4GHz radio (which can use multiple SSIDs).

"Obviously", _if_ you determined that disabling the 2.4GHz "guest
network" was required. Did you?
