### Problem Description

I'm having issues getting the ESP8266EX to connect to one of my WiFi AP's, this is an Asus RT-AX86U Pro, it has no issues connecting to an older Asus model that is also providing WiFi for the same SSID.

I've put together a minimal sketch to try and help debug this issue, and the output that I get is as at the end.

FYI, I did try going to the esp8266 forum, however, there appears to be a problem with my registration (no email was received).

I see several other tickets raised relating to something similar #7965 #8299 and I've tried both fixes and changes that appear to have helped them, most notably.

WiFi.setPhyMode(WIFI_PHY_MODE_11G); <- Added both before and after WiFi.begin, which no change

And changing the board to esp8266 generic, and changing to nonos-sdk2.2.1+61 (190313)

### [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) Sketch

#include

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
Serial.println();

WiFi.begin("HumptyDumpty", "Not_A_Real_SSID_for_me_at_least");

Serial.print("Connecting");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println();

Serial.print("Connected, IP address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
Serial.printf("Wi-Fi mode set to WIFI_STA %s\n", WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) ? "" : "Failed!");
Serial.printf("Connection status: %d\n", WiFi.status());
WiFi.printDiag(Serial);

}

void loop() {}

I have the following information from my router, which may be helpful
Stations List

So, I don't believe signal strength is an issue.
