Disable the WSP feature for the R7800 — Nighthawk X4S AC2600 router

Yes, even if internet connection via WiFi is an option, it may be that the car manufacturer does not recommend it, but it is not stated in the manual. They require WPA2 with password (CCMP).
When I try to connect to my WiFi network, the access points are not shown as visible/selectable options. The manual says that it is not possible to connect if the WiFi access points are:
-Network without encryption
-WPA3
-WEP
-WPA (with TKIP)
-WPA2 where there is the possibility to connect via WPS, and it is in this case that WPS should be disabled in the router.
I may have to settle for internet sharing from my mobile phone !

Just ensure that WPA2 and AES is enabled on the router and then connect the device to the SSID name and use the password. Found on the routers web page under Basic/Wireless settings.
If you need to disable the WPS feature if needed.
