A9000 unable to connect to 6GHz network
Hey everyone, Long time reader first time poster. I recently moved in to a new house 1200Sqft. I would prefer to be wired in but there's only one cable outlet in the home in the living room...
The error I get is CAN NOT CONNECT TO NETWORK
That seems to indicate that the A9000 does display the 6G SSID as an available WiFi network.
(We read that 6G WiFi signals are reduced when penetrating walls more than 5G signals, but if that were the problem then the A9000 would not detect the 6G signal at all.)
Is there another device that the A9000 can be connected to? (laptop? tablet?)
Netgear mentions PSC in this article.

PSC would seem to be irrelevant since the adapter attempts to connect to the detected SSID.
Yes, detection of the 6GHz band is fine, shows up in Windows. Just when I try and connect it will not do it. 2.4Ghz and 5GHz bands connect fine.
Unfortunately I do not have another device to connect on the 6GHz band although I my get Samsung S26+ after work.
I do have a mini-PC I can try the A9000 in. I will report back. I also might try the older driver as well.
