Wifi not connecting on Mac OS

Hello dears friends I run into wifi problems again. From my latest topic where I had problems with airport extreme keep disconecting the internet providers have made test with another wifi router which worked perfect. So i moved from airport extreme to Asus RT AC88U and everything is working great until my second laptop * Macbook Pro 13 mid 2012 OS Catalina * don't connect to wifi. I have 2 iphones,2 macbooks and a tv conected and they are all working great except the macbook pro 13 which not connect only on mac os, the bootcamp work perfect. I tryed to renew DHCP lease but still no results.

It's showing to type the password which I typed corectly every time but still no results.

The asus router is a dual band wifi and tryed to enable/disable 160mhz and adaptive QoS.

Any advice is welcome and I also need to mention that mac os can connect to other wifi and even phone hotspot.

I come with an update, I veryfied the router settings and they look ok as Chris mentioned above but the problem come that macbook can't connect to wifi because is not conecting to 2.4 ghz band, I made a guest 5ghz band and it worked. I've noticed that all devies that conect to router they are all conected on 2.4 ghz band until they need more to switch to 5g.
