Can't connect my Samsung TV to the 5Ghz wifi band of my Archer AX55

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing almost the same problems that were described in this thread, with the only difference being my tv (a UE40KU6400, this time around).
Why do I say almost? Because it turns out that if I leave my 5ghz (which is separated from the 2.4ghz one having a different ssid and all) without any password protection at all, it manages to connect without problems, and that wasn't mentioned/tested in the previous thread. Changing the password protection type didn't help at all, I tried all the possible combinations but only not having it entirely managed to make it connect (which isn't a solution for obvious reason, nor is the need to WPS connect it everytime like that user suggested back then, and the guest network should remain separeted from the rest of my network (my main usecase is Steam Link, which needs the 2 devices to be discoverable by each other on the same network, hence me using the main one, and on the 5ghz band to have acceptable performance (2.4ghz works but is too laggy))). The tv had no problems connecting with wpa psk 2 aes to the 5ghz band of my previous router, so I'm really not sure what's going on here.
Hopefully you might have some further troubleshooting suggestions since that thread.
Here are my normal wireless settings:
And my no password setup that works:
Yes, it does work fine with 2.4 ghz with password without problems (not really a solution for my needs, as the main post says). As I said, I tried all crypthographic options (even wpa3), but only "None" worked.
This is what the tv reports:
(192.168.2.81 is a valid ip address of my network, set up like this)
This is what reports when without password:
Yes, I set that static ip address myself (no, nothing else is currently using it). If I disable it, this is what I get (I think it's just plain wrong as it can't connect at all, dhcp works for everything else), and again 192.168.2.81 works with no password.
Just ran a quick test with one of my TVs. It connected on the first try to the AX55 without any issues. Here is a snapshot from the clients list:
The security setting is set to WPA2-PSK[AES]. The AX55 is in the AP mode and located within 3 meters of the TV.
