A6100 Cannot Find Nighthawk RAX48 network!
I find this problem extremely ironic. I have a known good NETGEAR A6100 USB wifi adapter on a Windows 10 computer. I say known good based on the fact that it works with at least two networks: my work site's WIFI, and my Google Pixel 6 Pro's T-Mobile hotspot.
However, this adapter will not detect my NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX48 router network! SSID discovery is turned on. The A6100 shows several of my neighbors' WIFI networks so I know it is functional in my home. The RAX48 is configured with Smart Connect with a single SSID so it can determine by client which band to use. I tried turning that setting off, but still no 2.4GHz nor 5GHz networks detected.
I've rebooted the router a couple of times and tried Windows 10 network troubleshooting wizard. Because this laptop is my work machine, I cannot do any Administrator level functions so my options are limited here.
Why would a NETGEAR adapter not work with a NETGEAR router???

Try to disable AX mode on the RAX router.

What driver version do you have installed for the A6100?

I know this sounds stupid but you talked about the adapter able to pickup other networks. But are other devices able to see the RAX's broadcast?
