Problem detecting network on laptop with AX1800
Hello,
I have bought this Archer AX1800 a few weeks ago. I have set it up at my new place and since then, everything works except one of my devices. My laptop. It is 4 years old. Connects to every other network but it will not find my home network. Not even if I put it in manually. i have tried dfferent things on the local side of the router. All my devices can see the wifi but my laptop. I got my channels set to auto. Still can't see both my 2.4 and my 5 gig channel networks with my laptop.
My laptop is an Asus. Running an intel dual band wifi card.
Is there something I am missing here? I can't get my laptop to connect on the wifi but i am able to use my USB to Ethernet adapter to connect but I would like to use this new router and wifi set up I have here. I even updated the firmware on the router.
Any help would be great at this point.

So I did that and nothing worked.
I even changed some channels on the router. Not sure which channels would work for my laptop but my old Archer C7 that my ex uses works without issues and I didn't have to change the channels on it. Not sure what the deal is with this new one. Any good suggestions?

I am at work here with the laptop. I am able to see every network we have here. Even connected to the public one. So I know it works here. But not with my AX1800 at home.

The issue is that the drivers your wireless card has does not work with AX networks.
You must update the drivers on your laptop, once you do that you will see the AX networks.
Another solution is to log into the router and change the wireless mode so it does not broadcast AX.

You may need to turn off Smart Connect in the Advance Wireless settings to get to the Mode option.
