Cant find 60 GHz network on list of WiFi networks!
Like the subject says I cant find the network that I bought the router for. but I can find the other two networks on the list.
Of course, there are clients supporting 802.11ad (WiGig) on 60 GHz - however, there are not many yet, some Acer notebook models (we're using two here). It's a brilliant technology, blazignly fast for wireless - however, users must be aware that this works within a few meters from the R9000 (Nighthawk X10) and in direct line of sight only.
ChristineT has already prepared a generic reply with some links -> Can't see your Nighthawk X10 60 GHz WiFi network?
What do you mean? There are no 60 GHz network cards so you will not be able to see or use it for at least a year or two from now.
You should be able to see it turned on and off when you log into the router.
so this will not show up?
What hardware are we talking about here?
Well I have a nighthawk x10 with the newest firmware and a modem from commcast:
As far as i know there is no client in existence for 60 GHz. You can't even buy anything that will let you see or use the 60 GHz 802.11 ad signal.
This may change in a year or two, there is also another standard called 802.11 ax that will be coming out. So these standards may be supported in the future by devices that can use these new standards.
