Can't connect Apple products to new ATT All-Fi Hub
So I asked ya'll a question a week or so ago and was so happy to have gotten a resolve so I'm trying it once again. I received and just set up the new ATT All-Fi Hub. Accessed the Gateway on my Windows laptop. Changed 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz SSID name & PW. Laptop and LG tv connected with no problem. My 2 iPads and 2 iPhones - in other words Apple products - won't connect. I've had this same issue before with previous ATT Routers and remember that there is one settings that needs to be changed but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. A call to ATT didn't help at all. Here is what I've done so far:
Renamed 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz SSID and PW. Enabled Mac Filtering. All Apple products IP#'s are correct in Mac Filtering. 2.4 and 5 have different SSID names. I also changed 5 ghz "Channel" from "Automatic" to "157" (I just picked one of the numbers) and 2.4 ghz from "Automatic" to channel "11" (again I just picked an offered number). "Wifi Protection" is set to off. The default is ON. I changed this so that Mac Filtering could be used.
My last resort is to turn back on my old router and take pictures of each page. That is my last resort. I have even tried to use the QR code on the Gateway page to connect the iPhone and it always says "Unable to join the network "XYZ".
Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciation in advance for any advice. I'm near the desperate stage of this. Thank you!!

I have an update. If it turn Mac Filtering OFF, they will all connect. What am I missing?

Holy cow I fixed it! Putting the resolve here so I (or anyone else) can find it. Go to each Apple Product (iPhone, iPad). To go settings -> Wi-Fi -> Network (you're trying to join) and tap on the circled letter "I". Scroll down to "Private Wi-Fi Address" and turn it off. BOOM. Thank you all! I'm SO HAPPY!! :-)

There’s no need to turn off band steering.
And yes, this is another fine mess Apple has gotten us into.
