Now that I'm back up and running, everything seems to be running fine for the last 24 hours, except one laptop.
It's a little older, but the pc had no issues connecting flawlessly to this mesh setup prior to.
However, since this last firmware update, it cannot see my network.
I have MANY smart devices currently connect to 2.4 band without issue.
During my 5-hour long problem solving session last night, I disabled 5ghz, and this same laptop was able to see the network.
Can you or someone point me in the right direction to get this laptop to see 2.4ghz without having to disable 5ghz?
Was relieved last night thinking I got it all sorted, but I'm still wanting to toss this whole mesh system.
Looking again, maybe I didn't disable 5G, but- Wireless Settings screen, under basic tab on desktop admin portal(apologies, not sure formal term for it).
After taking a look again, I do see this is likely the AX that everybody's talking about in this thread.
When I unclicked "Enable 5G", and rebooted the router, the laptop saw the home network.
Ok, thats only for enabling AX mode ordisabling AX mode on the radios, Doesn't actually disable the 5Ghz radio. Just the mode.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, can you point me in the right direction of understanding AX setting and if I even need to turn it on for my application?

If you dont' have any AX mode supporting devices, you can disable AX mode.
