Did you give it a manual reboot ? I turn off the router and unplug the power cord for 30- 60 sec , then start it up . I have had connectivity problems a few times when I don't do this .AC3200, here.
I had the networking-nightmare weekend from hell.
I'm experiencing the same problems with my 2.4GHz as others have stated but I didn't think the problem would be with that. I assumed that the colon character in my SSID, was the problem...so I changed my SSIDs (it was time, anyway). Holy crap, the number of things I had connected that I forgot about is staggering.
Anyway, any firmware ≥ 384.3 has this problem. I know Merlin will be on top of it in coming releases so I'm not too worried about it.

AC3200 384.4_2 here as well. Mine has a slight twist to what some other AC3200 owners are reporting.
My 2.4GHz and 5GHz-1 is fine. 5GHz-2 is not. I get the authentication error when I try to connect, even though it is the correct password. However I do see some devices are registered on the 5GHz-2 under the Network Map and then separating by interface (interesting that 5Ghz-2 are all google products i.e a couple of minis, chromecast and chromecast audios). I just cant get other devices (laptop/phone/ipad) to connect to that SSID.
I did the restore to factory default, reboot, wait overnight, and then reconfigure manually in the morning.
What clients are having the problems ? Only my realtek wifi clients had trouble with 384.4 beta , no connection problems with the 384.4 release
TP LINK IF VER2 or Ver 3 is Realtek chip , hmmm strangeFor me and my 2.4GHz, these clients cannot connect:
• iPhone 5s
• Garmin Smart Index scale
• Raspberry Pi Zero W
• HP 3510 Printer
• TP-LINK TL-WN722N USB adapter
Did you do a manual reboot with power switch and leave off with power unplugged for 2 minutes ? That helped on mine , a gui reboot left me with connection problems on both bands with realtek chipped clients .I just did the following:
• installed 384.4, with a clean start (no settings restore, complete nvram erase)
• installed 384.4_2, with a clean start (no settings restore, complete nvram erase)
Both have 2.4GHz problems.
I then installed 384.3 (also cleanly) and all radios are performant. Everything connects. Nothing drops out.
(I just realized that "performant" is a made-up word, created by my fellow software engineers; still applies, though)
newest release 384.4.2 is working well on my 3200 , needed 2 manual reboots thoughi see there's a 383.4_2 version but the in the changelog there is no mentioning about the connection problems. Is it solved or still not known?

Any FW /SWupdates for the LG tv WIFI ? Those need updates as wellAC3200 owner here, everything worked fine on 380 fw, but have one little issue on all three 384 fw's
My devices connected and working are: Samsung Galaxy S9+, LG V20, iPhone 6S, iPAD 2017, Clevo Laptop w/Intel WiFi, PS3 connected via Asus EA-N66, Two digital tuner one connected via 2.4Ghz and one via Asus RP-AC52, Epson printer. No dropouts, and work like it should.
My problem device: LG SmartTV (2016). Problem is on both 2.4 and 5Ghz channel, bitrate on Netflix 0.53mbps to max 4.10 mbps, Youtube also have low quality and buffering. Connecting my TV to my Galaxy S9+ OR my ISP router bitrate is where it should, both Netflix and Youtube.
Seems to me like a router/client problem? Did not have this problem on 380 FW, so what changed ?
I have tried what i can think of, factory reset router twice, reset TV, tried different channels etc etc.
