My laptop doesnt see my Nighthawk AX8 with AX WiFi enabled
One of my laptops doesnt see the router with AX WiFi setting on.
After i disable it it does see it.
Any suggestions of a workaround on either end?
What am i missing if i turn off the AX WiFi?
...
I hope everyone who is disabling AX is submitting support requests. For a 400 dollar router, you shouldn't be turning off features because legacy equipment doesn't work with it turned on and be okay with it.
I not only had issues with the AX stuff, but the 5G band was completely unstable at the default of up to 2400 (channel 156 or whatever it was) got better at up to 4300 (auto switched it to channel 36), but even with a windows hardwired remote session to a laptop about 4 feet away from the router I couldn't keep a stable 2G connection either.
My next step is on the above issue is to get a network analyzer and figure out what channels are saturated because I shouldn't be having this issues with this equipment.
Good luck!
