Nighthawk R6900 won't work with older laptop

My R6900 will not work wireless with an old Compaq Presario but works wireless with my Sony Viao and apple products.    Can rhe R6900 be configured to work with older laptops?  Everything worked well...

Is the R9000 broadcasting in all bands? New kit will connect at 5GHz, old stuff will probably be 2.4GHz

 

Can the old Compaq Presario see any wifi?

 

You'll have to tell people a bit more about what is going on if you want informed responses.
