Greetings, I just bought a flint 2 and for some reason I can not get my old laptop (Win10) to see the network over wifi. I tried changing the wireless mode but to no advance. Any idea how I could fix this? ---

You need to identify which Wi-Fi card is inside your laptop and then check which Wi-Fi mode it supports (or not) Maybe it does not support WPA3 only, maybe it only supports 802.11ac instead of ax or newer... ---

Already tried all different wifi modes and WPA modes it seems that the router only changes it's wifi mode visually on screen but hardware wise it doesn't do anything. My drivers are up to date and all windows update are done I am clueless what to do now. ---

Try using commonly used channels like 36 and 80mhz bandwidth. ---

80 MHz probably won't work. It seems to be Wifi 4, you should try 2.4 GHz, Bandwidth 20 MHz, and Channel 1, for example. ---
