[操作疑難] Problem with 華為 5G CPE Pro 2 Router

anon893

Household has this router as secondary WiFi hotspot at home
Primary router is Netgear Orbi

Have a Lenovo E560 (circa late 2016/2017) notebook which connects to the Orbi Wifi without issue; however the E560 CANNOT detect the 5G CPE Pro 2 at all, even if I place the laptop right next to the router...

Have manually setup a connection with the CPE Pro 2 but still the laptop cannot see this router at all

Meanwhile my old smartphones can detect the CPE Pro 2 network without problem

What's the problem with this?  Why the E560 cannot see the network from the 華為 router at all?

Help appreciated

Wi-Fi Channel問題?
估計你用左某D channel係你notebook揀左既地區唔支援

My notebook can detect the Orbi and other neighbouring networks, just NOT the  華為

BTW what Wifi channel are you referring to?

Step 4
5GHz Wi-Fi --> Channel

盡量揀149-161, 訊號較強
其次36-48, 較弱

That's from the router side...

How about the notebook side?  Is there any channel that I should set, and how?

Set it in device manager (each wi-fi adapter model is different)

I checked the channels of the routers with Wifi Analyzer...
The original home Orbi runs on Channels 13 (for 2.4G) and 36 (for 5G)
While the 華為 runs on Channels 7 (2.4G) and 36 (5G)

Would this be the issue?
I have yet to check the noebook's Wifi adapter settings, but I'll do that soon

好大機會係
如果電腦用左US, 會得翻Channel 1-11, 冇12/13
