nighthawk ac1900 wifi problems
Dear all,
my router is working perfect with computers, ipad, televisions, .... Though, on one laptop I have the problem that I see the wifi-network, but after I try to connect it always disables. It doesn't say password incorrect or anything. On this laptop a wired connection works without problems. Is there any software that I can run, something I can reset on the laptop, ...
thanx in advance!

The laptop does not connect?
It turns off (disables) the laptop's wifi?
All the router's wifi turns off (disables)?
If all other wifi devices are working OK, and the problem is with just one wifi client, then the problem is almost certainly nothing to do with the wifi source. You need to fix whatever is broken on the laptop. For example, you may have to update whatever wifi drivers it has. Windows update, if that is what you use, is not good at finding drivers.
