AX55 won't auto connect using WPA3, but works fine with WPA2

Model: Archer AX55

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I was going nuts trying to figures this out. Windows 11. Intel AC 9560 in the laptop, and it wouldn't auto connect. I tried resetting network in Windows. All manner of power and other settings in the laptop. Updating drivers, rolling back drivers. Finally I tried switching from WPA3 to WPA2 in the AX55. Now it works like a charm. This is a 1 month old AX55, that I updated firmware on when I bought it. Has anyone else had this issue? Windows will boot. I click the "globe" wifi on the task bar and it says "connecting", but it never does. As soon as I select the SSID and click connect manually it always works. Turning off WPA3 in the router fixed it.

@JoePangit

strange.

Any other device with the same issue? Any other device working correctly?

I would try power cycle both the router and the computer as there may be something not being reset. If you are hiding the ssid, change it to not hide it. Are any of the wifi settings not default?
