RTL8188EE adapter not seeing ssid on mr60
SSID working fine on other devices except laptop with this adapter. Firmware current on router and adapter?
That adapter was poor performing when it was released 9 years ago. Its been a pretty base model wireless N with a 1x1 antenna setup. Its firmware hasn't been updated since 2017 (prior to wireless AX). Many device manufacturers had issues with AX but fixed it with firmare upgrades. This could be one that has issues but didn't get updated.
You can probably get it working on the MR60 if you wanted to disabled AX on the router (ruins the whole point of upgrading router).
Or you could upgrade the wireless card. Or you could add a wireless usb device.
