Model: Archer AXE75  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.8

Pretty simple problem, but weird.  I replaced today my Archer C2300 (it simply stopped putting out a wifi signal even though it said it did) with a AXE 5400 / AXE75.  I used the same name of the network and pw so all my devices would simply reconnect, which all seem to have done except my laptop.  It's connected now to an old extendere which picked up the new router just fine, but it does not show the new networks at all.  Like, the names don't appear as networks.  I'm still showing the two extenders and my neighbors, but not the new bands with the same names as before.

 

I restarted a couple times.  No change

 

Command lined: ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Restart.  Same problem.

 

Troubleshoot, nothing that made it magically appear as a network to connect to.

 

"Forgot" the old network name, hoping it'd show back up with the new router.  Nope.

 

What am I missing? 

 

Any help would be appreciated.  While I at least can connect to the extender, it's not as fast, obviously.

Strange.... I was going to say to "forget" the network until I see you already did it as that is common when switching routers. See it a lot with Apple products. 
 

I think issue is in the PC and not the router since all the other devices an extender work. 
 

I would try turning on the guest network to see if it will connect to it. 
 

Is the PC old and maybe does not support one of the wifi settings such as AX, or encryption settings.

  @ArcherC8 Thanks for replying.

 

I agree it's got to be my computer.  I was hoping someone else had the problem and could help, regardless.

 

That was a good suggestion to turn on a guest network and see if it showed up.  It didn't.  I even tried it with no security to no avail. 

 

The computer is fairly old.  I replaced the wifi card a couple years back with a "wireless-AC 7260NGW NGFF M2 Interface WiFi Adapter-Wireless-AC 1200Mbps (2.4GHz 300Mbps & 5GHz 867Mbps) Network Card with WiFi Audio Adapter (Wireless-AC 7260NGW) seen here.  I've had no problems until now.  Maybe it's not compatable, but I'm surprised if so, especially with it working fine with the C2300. 

 

Thanks again.  Any other suggestions welcome.
