MR6110 Unable to connect

[holybanjo]

Hello
I’m getting the message “unable to connect to network” when I enter the WiFi password for the MR6110.
Please advise

wow you look at the reviews for that card on an AX network and its a ton of posts with issues. 

here's one specifically https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/n2cpiv/is_there_a_problem_with_the_realtek_8822ce/

I'm a fan of intel cards (other than their new BE200 because its not compatible with AMD). If you're half hand, you can pickup a cheap Intel AX210 and put in your laptop. Or even try a cheap USB wireless adapter. That'll tell you real quick if the card is the issue.

well, it could be the wrong password. 

Do all devices have issues or just one? 

Did you go in and check the password? 

Or try changing it?

It works with every other device except my laptop.

1. what wireless card in the laptop? 

2. what security method are you using on the router? wpa2? wpa3? wpa2/wpa3 mixed mode?

3. Seems strange that everything works fine except for 1 device. Tends to indicate a device issue and not MR6110 issue.

My laptop has the following wireless hardware:
Realtek 8821CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC
Driver version: 2024.10.141.0

Thanks for this. I've tried it with my USB adaptor and lo-behold, it works. Will I be able to upgrade to the Intel AX210 on an ASUS lapop? Or would I be better placed just getting a new laptop?

[plemans]

what asus laptop is it? (model number)

some have black/white lists for what wireless cards they can use but most are fine.

It's a Vivobook X515EA_X1500EA

Looks like not a hard teardown.

I'd try the intel AX210. Its got 2.4/5/6ghz. You in theory could try the BE200 but that'd be more hit/miss

I would go back and install an earlier recommended driver from your support page. I have seen drivers that are not from ASUS not work properly
