are you using wpa3?
I've seen a few devices struggle with wpa3.
You can try using wpa2.
like schumaku says, what devices are having the issues?
Wired/wireless?
Are you using smart connect?
Try disabling it and then seeing if it matters if those devices are connecting to 2.4ghz or 5ghz.

Yeah, however according to the UM thee is no WPA3 option. A difference to older Netgear routers is that it defaults to WPA2-PSK (AES), the mixed mode WPA2-PSK (AES) + WPA-PSK (TKIP) is disabled by default [what makes sense to avoid people reporting their Apple devices are reporting poor config].
