Re: Laptop does not detect new nighthawk router
What wireless chipset is in the laptop for wireless?
many of these had intel chips in them. the older drivers couldn't see/access AX networks. And most people rely on windows to push out new drivers from them. Which didn't happen. So check which wireless chip is in it and go to that manufacturers website to directly get the driver and update it.

Re: Laptop does not detect new nighthawk router
1. Try resetting the network on the laptops.
2. Are you using Smart Connect? If so, try without Smart Connect.
3. Create different SSID's for each band. Make sure your WPA security matches with laptop
4. Channel selection....play around with different channels .....
