This router is full of issues.
I experienced the same problem with my Lenovo Yoga. The only solution was for me to buy a USB WiFi adapter. Your built in card is older tech, and this router is not smart enough to retain compatibility.

Firmware Version V1.0.2.72_2.0.45
I bought this router a few months ago, 11/2020, from BestBuy
I have 2 Dell laptops:
Inspiron 15 5000 no problem: I can see two names of my wifi networks.
Inspiron 5558 : I can't see the names of my wifi networks.
The Wifi adaptor is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160
Ethernet 802.3
Can you help me?
Thanks,
CK

I just unchecked the Enable AX on the basic wireless setup page of my http://www.routerlogin.net/start.htm and now I can connect to my wifi network.
Thanks

That's always an option. but it disables AX wifi and halfway ruins the point of buying an AX router.
