Have you tried what channel your wifi router is broadcasting? This also happened to me. Few years ago, I set the channel of my wifi router to 13 (and not to automatic). And this posed no problem with my laptop wifi.
Now what happened is that when I bought NetGear's A6100, I was not able tofind my wifi because it can only "see" until channel 11, while my laptop's Atheros wireless LAN adapter can "see" until channel 13.
So, I changed my wifi router's channel settings to auto (currently set at channel 5) and now the A6100 can detect and connect to it
Hope this helps. :).
