Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 no longer connects to my Orbi RBE971
My Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 no longer connects to my Orbi RBE971 as well. It just stopped. My Chromebook Plus 14 laptop works with all other routers except my Orbi. This is ridiculous.

Just ... out of the blue?
Was your Orbi RBE971 updated (likely automatically) around the same time?
Only a single RBE971 device (this model is the router), or operating along with one or some RBE970 satellites?
Using the primary wireless SSID (with what security settings like WPA2 or WPA3)?

A perfeclty valid question, should not be difficult to answer.

Either way, around October 6th, Google has released updates for the Chrome browser and the ChromeOS operating system (just like every two to four weeks...).
So what Chrome OS version shows your Chrobebook "about" page?
