WIFI ISSUE (ax8 6000 router) cannot connect my laptop

I have bought new ax8 6000 router. I cannot connect my 2 laptop. It does not get any wifi signal from my new router. Strange thing is my old laptop I can get signal but new 2 laptop doesn't get any 2.4 ghz or 5ghz signal. If anybody knows about it please let me know.

Glad it helped - pretty poor workaround, fine as long as you have no 80211ax (Wi-Fi 6) clients around, I must admit.

You rather off buying a AC Router if you have to disable AX mode to connecct Laptops...

Some interoperability issues are predicable when jumping on pre-standard early technology which has not gained sufficient field test coverage before.

So why released prematurely early?

Marketing and market share, every vendor want to be first, and because there are many tech geeks which want the latest toyz. Considering it will become 2020 before the final WiFi 6 standard will be final, and many pre-standard hardware does currently not support even the autumn 2018 draft 802.11ax specs basic standard features - open if these are hardware limitations or it can be enhanced by the SoC and radio vendors embedded code (which is mostly out of control by the system integrators like Netgear & Co.).
