    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    replacing it is fine, however who's to say that any other one purchased won't have the same problem? hence why it's good to know why it isn't working.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    i'm not sure i follow the question. the laptop only has 2 USB ports and they are both USB3 ports.

    router recommendations

    merlin has sorted the DNS address issue. it adds an option called "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS", and turning this off results in the just user supplied DNS addresses being served via DHCP

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    i've already had that both on and off during intitial testing.

    merlin added the second DNS option in LAN settings

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    the current OEM driver is older than the driver that windows 10 auto installs. so yes the older drivers made no difference, both drivers have the same result.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    it matters in the sense that the asus is the root of the problem, and working out what it's doing that the others didn't. installing the older drivers made no difference.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    windows 10 has native support for the device, so it installs it's own driver, which is "newer" than the one provided on the edimax website. although i will say again, it works fine on all the previous routers, so not sure what the asus is doing differently.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    turning off smart connect made no difference. the edimax can't see the two seperate SSIDs and can't see the guest wifi

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    i didn't think i'd have needed to do a factory reset after applying the update, as i hadn't actually touched any settings at that point. i can try it later on, but not convinced. only other thing i guess is to try merlin, but i'll need to take a note of all the config changes i've made (which...

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    the router is only a few days old, and was manually configured after the latest firmware update was applied, so it's not like there are years worth of config changes on it. so i did start from a clean base. took it out the box. manually applied the latest firmware. configured it to what it is...

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    yes the adapator works fine, it was being used daily on the old AP before it was replace with the asus. it also sees other WIFI networks around.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    should point out though, it doesn't even see my guest wifi SSID, which is 2.4Ghz only

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    the device played well with a combined SSID previously (on various different APs), so is smart connect doing something differently than what other APs do? if that's the only solution then i'll have to stop using the edimax and replace it with something else, as i don't want seperate SSIDs. this...

    router recommendations

    i was kinda hoping i wouldn't need to do a FS, as i've already configured quite a lot of settings.

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    i'd be losing AX support on my laptop though! however i tried it enabled and disbaled and it made no difference. it's an edimax ew-7811un https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/in/wireless_adapters_n150/ew-7811un/

    do you usually like to answer in riddle? it's not a good trait.

    My bands are currently combined and that's what I want to continue having

    edimax wifi adaptor can't see networks

    Doesn't that disable combined 2.4/5Ghz though? That's not an outcome I'd want, but would be an interesting test. As I said, it didn't have a problem when using the unifi kit, so not sure what is different here
