Have you already tried reset to default config ?
If you netinstall again, any version starting from 7.13 requires also wifi-qcom package to be installed or there will be no radio drivers.

What band/channel should that nokia connect to ?
Are you sure your AX3 is not using a frequency which can not be used by that Nokia ?
2 options: change phone, set frequency manually to something which can be recognized.

ok, first of all i fixed issue with empty default configuration by changing version of NetInstall from 7.15.2 to 7.11.3

in second it have 2.4ghz only, so i think it is not a problem because i set country correctly, also i have samsung galaxy a15 and galaxy tab a8 that randomly disconnects from wifi with default settings on 7.15.2, so i try it with 7.11.3 tomorrow

Hi,

I use 4 HAP devices running 7.15.2 as single (no capsman) access-point ; 2 HAP AX3 and 2 HAP AC3.
All use the same config except interface order AND bands.

At this time no performances issue with HAP AC3 devices.
Under HAP AX3 devices, sometimes wireless disconnect and reconnect after less than 10s.... but it's rare and speed slowdown sometimes.

I try to identfify by logging wireless separatly like that, but at this time, nothing in log for know the reason :
/system logging action
add disk-file-count=3 disk-file-name=wireless.log name=wireless target=disk
add disk-file-count=3 disk-file-name=wirelessdbg.log name=wirelessdbg target=disk

/system logging
add action=wireless topics=wireless,!debug
add action=wirelessdbg topics=wireless,debug

Wifi config HAP AC3 :
/interface wifi channel

Disabling wpa3-psk and use only wpa2-psk is an interesting idea. Let's go and wait fews days....
