Hey guys. I just purchased a tp link ax50 replacing my old apple airport.

 

the device connects to everything except my PC which runs win 10 pro.

 

the ssid does not show, however it shows a "hidden network" which even if I enter my ssid etc it says cannot connect. I moved the pc next to the router however that does not help either. I also created a 2.4ghz guest network, this too does not show.

 

i reinastalled the pc and I still have the same problem. 
my mobo is asrock fatality ab350 with built in wifi - intel lan dual band ac3168

 

i tried a linux mint live cd and it could find my ssid, and showed a strength of "50", if that helps.
