New Phones Dropping Wifi Connections (alien.top)

Any ideas why two current generation phones (OnePlus 11 and the brand new Samsung S23 FE) would consistently drop their wifi connections (2.4, 5, and 6gHz) in my home network every few minutes, while older phones (Pixel 5a and 6a, OnePlus 8 Pro) maintain rock solid wifi connections on 2.4 and 5gHz from the same router (TP-Link AXE95)? Suggestions how to fix? Thanks.

Oh, and I've tried shutting off the 6gHz band on the new phones. They drop the connection on the older bands every few minutes, too.

Check if your phones are giving your router a private/ random MAC address
