I use a Ubiquiti Airmax Pro for wifi. I have devices that refuse to
connect to it. Newer AC devices connect and operate great but older N devices
either don't even see it or connect to it poorly. I have updated
drivers fully patched OS confirmed and re configured network settings
countless times in an attempt to fix the problem, and yet they will
not connect.
For example
My Nokia Windows 8 and10 phones connect great. A new Lenovo G 5 phone
connects great but a Morotola G2 doesn't even see the AirMax when it
is four feet away from the AirMax. The same G2 has no problem
connecting to other routers and hotspots.
A 10 year old ACER laptop has no problem connecting with windows 7 or
10 but I have two LIVA Xcomputers using onboard Realtek rtl8723BE
wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and they do not see the AirMax at all
when they are ten feet away from it. I have a Lenovo Edge Thinkpad
Centrini Wireless N-2230 running Win10 doesn't see the AirMax but has
no problems connecting to other hotspots or my previous router.
The only thing that seems to connect easily are a HP Spectra laptop,
Samsung Tablet, Windows 10 phones and a Lenovo G5. Everything else
does not see the AirMax or sometimes connects and then doesn't
connect. I keep thinking it is a setup, firmware, or driver problem
but I have exhausted that approach. Anybody see this kind of behavior
before or know how to rectify it?
