Hello guys, completely new here, my first post.
I just bought a new router RT-AX56U.
Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect wifes PC to the router. It doesn't recognize it, can't see the network, the SSID.
the PCs network card is RLT8723AE. It is 2.4GHz B, G and N capable card, even capable 40MHz bandwidth. It is cca 8 years old.
Because I don't have ay AX devices, I turned it off.
I have different SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.
Hide SSID is disabled.
Wireless mode, tried "auto", "N only" and "legacy", didn't make a difference.
Channel bandwidth is set to 20/40, tried 20, tried 40MHz, didn't make a difference.
Tried switching between few channels, currently it is auto (CH7), no difference.
Tried WPA, WPA2, open, no difference.
I updated drivers for the network card, updated the router to the latest FW, no difference.
The PC, network card is working OK though. It sees a million other networks (we are in a large residential area) and also connects OK to others.
All my other devices are also working OK, even AC, vacuum cleaner, phones, tablets, s
I downloaded WifiInfoVIew to the PC. It found a lot of networks, but not this one.
Is there anything else I can do? What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
