RT-AC3200 Replace

not their routers, their devices like iphones and ipads not supporting WPA2 AES. It was an old issue but gained spotlight.

And FWIW - iDevices and Androids do have a recent MAC randomization issue - not OS specific, more aligned with the Broadcom firmware inside the WiFi chips there - which makes sense, as that firmware is inside the WiFi chip itself, outside of the driver (which just enables the function)

At the same time - review Apple's security stuff for IOS10...

So again - I've quoted sources - don't be a Drump and pass on fake news...

Experience from 2014. Other peoples iphones refused to connect because i used AES WPA2.

iDevices (and Macs) do support 802.11h - and as a result, with Asus' defaults, this can cause a performance issue - most vendors do it right, but Asus doesn't...

Case in point... from the FAQ that @RMerlin posted - seems simple that Asus could just enable this outright... now with the closed source, it's not as easily done...

MAC users: some Macs have issues with the 5 GHz band (and sometimes the 2.4 Ghz band too) and Asus routers. The solution usually requires you to connect to your router over SSH or Telnet, and issue the following commands:

nvram set wl0_reg_mode=h
nvram set wl1_reg_mode=h
nvram commit
reboot​

And again - I won't get too deep into how Asus totally mangles mDNS - e.g. Bonjour/Avahi - they could do better there...

Erm - nope...
