Hello
I’m getting the message “unable to connect to network” when I enter the WiFi password for the MR6110.
Please advise
Matthew

    well, it could be the wrong password. 

    Do all devices have issues or just one? 

    Did you go in and check the password? 

    Or try changing it?

        1. what wireless card in the laptop? 

        2. what security method are you using on the router? wpa2? wpa3? wpa2/wpa3 mixed mode?

        3. Seems strange that everything works fine except for 1 device. Tends to indicate a device issue and not MR6110 issue.

        wow you look at the reviews for that card on an AX network and its a ton of posts with issues. 

        here's one specifically https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/n2cpiv/is_there_a_problem_with_the_realtek_8822ce/

        I'm a fan of intel cards (other than their new BE200 because its not compatible with AMD). If you're half hand, you can pickup a cheap Intel AX210 and put in your laptop. Or even try a cheap USB wireless adapter. That'll tell you real quick if the card is the issue. 

  • I would go back and install an earlier recommended driver from your support page. I have seen drivers that are not from ASUS not work properly

  • I'm seeing the same message intermittently attempting to connect iPhone and iPads  to Nighthawk M6 Mobile Router (MR6110 Telstra) in Qld Australia.  Netgear support tell me to contact Telstra although the device was bought at JB Hi-FI although it uses the Telstra Network.  I've connected to the router admin page from my desktop computer and checked the firmware (NTGX65_12.01.41.00) but Netgear support hasn't confirmed if there's any problems with this firmware when using the Telstra 5G network
