I purchased a new  Lenovo P15s  laptop which was supposed to be able to use 802.11ax.

I have the 802.11ax SSID enabled on my router.

I have updated the Lenovo Intel network ax driver to latest version.

I have installed inSSIDer software.

 

I cannot see the SSID as a choice on my laptop as a network to join.

I dont know if the router is not working or if the laptop driver can just not see it.

There are many settings on the laptop network driver - so it may be a setting.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.
