wifi 6 not compatibel with old 2013 windows 10 Lenovo PC

so i have a new wifi 6 router which does connect up to phone and a Chromebook Laptop but no the  Lenovo PC. 

 

whilst trying a few software changes may help, i get the mircosoft  blue screen  of death... 

 

NOw i assume various wi fi dongles may be compatible to change with the correct drivers installed so i can plug in a newish dongle to provide me the wifi signal required..

 

Any clues any people on here had this issue b4?

More likely the incompatibility is with WPA3 (the default wireless security level on a Max Hub)

 

You could try reducing the wireless security level from WPA3 to WPA2-PSK using the Hub administration settings in the My Sky app.

That's so how do I change the  wpa from 3 to 2.. 

Can I do using the settings on my sky TV.  

 

Do I have to use the sky app or connect to the back of the sky q box with a network cable. 🤔 

What is the simplest way... please.

Done that , reduced down to wpa 2 but same blue screen if Microsoft death. Very frustrated that the sky helpline people aren't more knowledgeable or helpful. 

So my old router sr203 on wpa 2 worked but the new sr213 on wpa2 doesn't.. ??????,
