@Smorse  Does the laptop even see the Wi-Fi network from the new Max hub?

If someone has helped give them Like.

Hi, yes it comes up and I can't get as far as putting in the password but it won't connect  to the network. So frustrating!

Are you attempting to make a remote connection to work-related facilities?

@Smorse have you tried just temp disabling one off the bands to get a connection, would do the 5Ghz band just incase the laptop does not like the possible higher frequency!

@Smorse Use this link from the tips above, as you have a sky max hub then you will do it all via your mobile app, be carefull to only do one band or you will lose all connection to the hub. Turn the band back on once you get the laptop to connect, they normally stick pretty well after that!
