Flex live USB won't connect to my home wifi, only my phone's hotspot (self.chromeos)

I'm trying out the live USB on a Surface Pro3. I know the wifi chip is supported as I can connect to my phone's hotspot. I was able to connect to my home Wifi with Windows on this laptop, but attempting to connect my home wifi gives this error

The only thing I can think of is WPA vs WPA2 vs WPA3. I've tried changing my wifi between WPA2 and WPA2/WPA3 modes, not going to set it to WPA though.

Any tips?

Thanks for the suggestions. I did check that I have both 2.5 and 5 GHz enabled, I did have a thought of "could my router have some weird client limit?" but for some reason didn't connect that with DHCP configuration. However it's configured for a pool of 200 IPs and I'm well under 50. Also switching the OS shouldn't change the MAC address so should be seen as the same client.
