Thanks for your reply but, unfortunately, none of the steps suggested made any difference.
Satellites are correctly positioned and work fine with all the devices, except this one.
Disabling AX on 2.4Ghz does nothing. As well as removing the coexistence between 20/40Mhz. Preamble and CTS cannot be changed. They are not selectable from the router web interface.
Armor detected the box as an attack as soon as it was re-enabled. Disabling Armor did nothing. The hub is connected via Ethernet to the main router (it can only be connected that way) and the box via wifi on the same router (the box does not support Ethernet).

One quick check to see if this wifi device sees and connects at all, disable WPA on the RBR. Turn OFF the RBS for now. See if the device will connect. Re-enable WPA2 and AES after testing.
I'd contact the mfr of this device to get additional help and information regarding there product.

It was working OK with another router and with this one, before they updated the router software. I have contacted the manufacturer but they didn’t bother providing a solution unfortunately. I have been made aware that other people had some issues connecting this device to a Wifi 6 router

Thanks mate. I didn't know there was a new firmware version. I have the automatic update activated and I searched for new software yesterday but it said it was already updated. Are you aware of any issues with the new firmware?
