Main WiFi on RBR750 Network Keeps Dropping

I have an Orbi RBR750 with 2 satellites. I have a main network and a guest network setup. All devices on my network connect and remain connected to the main network except my Lenovo PC. The WiFi icon on my PC shows a "lock" on the guest network, however on my PC, it has an "X" on the icon. I'm able to connect to my main network (the one with the "X"), however 1) it continually asks for my password and then 2) it ultimately drops from WiFi.

So I'm now connected to my guest network and I cannot find a resolution. My firmware is up to date. Obviously the system is working. I'm not sure if it's a PC problem causing this.

Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

    Does this happen with all RBS turned OFF temporarilly? 

    What channels are set on the Orbi system?

    What WiFi Security mode are you using on the Orbi system? WPA2 only or Mixed WPA2 and WPA3? Some older WiFi devices don't support WPA3 Or mixed modes.

     

    What is the brand and model# of the wifi adapter in this PC? 

    Make sure the drivers for the wifi adapters in this PC are up to date from it's Mfr. 

    Make contact with the Mfr of this PC regarding help and information for there PC product.
