MikroTik RBD52G-5HacD2HnD router and Qualcomm Atheros AR956x WiFi connection problem

Fri Mar 05, 2021 12:36 am

I have a RBD52G-5HacD2HnD router and a Atheros AR956x wifi card on my Lenovo laptop.

The MikroTik wifi works on all computers and mobile phones at home, but not on the Lenovo laptop that is running Windows 8.
I fixed the problem, just posting here so when someone else is Googling for answers they can find answers.

The problem is with the Laptop, or laptop's Wifi not accepting the 2Ghz wifi's "channel width" that is set as default to "20/40Mhz XX" on the router.
One must log in at (most likely) http://192.168.88.1 to the router and go to Wireless -> wlan1 (most likely default 2Ghz wifi name) -> Channel Width
Then change from "20/40MHz XX" to "20/40Mhz eC", or other setting. Changing from the "20/40Mhz XX to "20/40Mhz eC" worked for me. Now Lenovo laptops Atheros Wifi connects.

That's it. Just posting to save hours of time for others.
