AX3200 very sluggish with WIFI enabled

I installed an AX3200, replacing an older Netgear WIFI router. Looking to better the WIFI range.
I hooked up the AX3200 and all seemed well with my lone Ethernet cabled PC. Next I reconfigured the WIFI ssid and password to match the old configuration. (I have a half dozen WIFI devices I didn't want to change the WIFI connection on.) After changing the WIFI settings as mentioned the router became very very sluggish. Pings to the LAN IP mostly resulted in drops. Internet was non-usable. The AX3200's management gui was very sluggish as well. I turned off the WIFI radio and performance recovered. I then turned off the Smart Connection feature, where you can use one ssid for all wifi connections, and configured the 2.4ghz (leaving the 5.1s still off) and the sluggishness returned. Thinking it might need a firmware update, I checked and there isn't one. So I put my old wifi router back in service and all is back to normal.
I am a retired IT professional, so generally know my way around these devices. Just seems like there is not enough processing power in this device to handle WIFI requests ...
Please advise ...
