However, depending on your Wifi AP vendor's firmware, especially if it hasn't been maintained in a while, there might be older bugs now surfacing, due to the new Wifi clients' more strict handling of AP association. But then, just a guess.
- 2x Unifi AC-AP Pro behind USG, all of them with most recent firmware => no Wifi
- just my iPhone with personal hotspot => no Wifi
- "my" corporate Wifi at the office => no Wifi
- just for testing: my old fritzbox router (7490, most recent firmware) => no Wifi

All of these systems work flawlessly with all devices... only my Kobo Aura HD with any firmware above 4.7.xxx denies any connection attempts
