    Failure to connect MB Pro to Synology router.

    There is no way to sufficiently express my thanks for all the help that was offered by contributors to this thread. All I can do is to play it forward and offer help when I know the answer to the questions posed by others seeking technical assistance.

    Failure to connect MB Pro to Synology router.

    My bad: Monterey is the OS running on the MB Pro. I checked the settings and they are as you specified: set for A+N+AC for 5GHz, B+N for 2.4 I have looked in WiFi Connect, Control Panel, and Network Center but can't find the Advanced settings to which you referred.
