Sae-mixed encryption means that encryption is WPA-3.
Change it to WPA-2 and male sure, that 802.11w is set to disabled . Not optional, but disabled!!! This is the main cause of wifi disconnections on many client devices.

Device: Netgear Nighthawk X4S (R7800)
Software version: OpenWrt 1… 9.07.2 r10947-65030d81f3 / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-20.134.55291-ba0fb08
Steps to reproduce:
- Start with the firmware linked here: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/r7800
- Remove wpad-basic
- Install wpad-openssl
- Configure network to broadcast in WPA3/WPA2 Personal (sae-mixed)
Devices previously able to connect to WPA2 mode:
- 2012 Macbook Pro on macOS Catalina 10.15.4
- Up-to-date raspberry pi 4 on raspbian buster
If I switch the radio to WPA2 Personal only (wpa-psk if not using luci, I believe), they can connect. I switch it back to WPA3/WPA2 Personal (sae-mixed) they cannot connect. Let me know what logs to gather and how to gather them. If it's a client issue, please confirm, but my understanding is that mixed mode should support all WPA2 Personal compatible devices.
