|
Hi guys
I set up a R7800 a few weeks ago for a chap, he's having problems when trying to connect his imac to 5ghz wi-fi, nothing wrong with the router as his mobile (iphone) connects just fine, strangest thing it was working until he changed the wi-fi password, it's like the password is wrong or cached, i've factory reset the router and reset up from fresh but still his imac refuses to connect, removed the password by pressing the minus sign in the imac, i have very little experience with imac's just wonder if anyone could shed some light on the issue or what settings it may like?
Tried factory resetting router and reconfiguring it.
Changing the SSID and channel number
settings that it worked on originally but not now:

dont do ac/n-mixed, do just "mixed". the channel the router is on is..? wasnt said, so try 36 if it isnt already. is the router set on united kingdom? if not, try that as well (not united kingdom bfwa). _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
