Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 can not connect to internet for 2.4 GHZ channel
I purchased the Nighthawk AX8 at 15 Dec 2021, recently this router can not connect to internet by 2.4 GHZ channel.
As I make the different name for 2.4 and 5 GHZ channel.
The 5GHZ channel works fine.
I tried to reset the Nighthawk AX8 so many times, but the issue still same.
Also i do not know why my Nighthawk AX8 does not has any support and warranty, as i just purchased it for less than half year.
