Re: [LUG] Debian laptop can't find specific wireless network

 

Turn off all encryption, authentication, MAC address filtering etc at
the WAP. Change channels at the WAP. Turn off 11n at the WAP. Turn off
11g. Re-enable one by one. Ensure the laptop can still connect to
other WAPs from time to time.
