My router broadcasts in 802.11ax as well, and the KLC sees and connects to that router. It’s the older router downstairs where it’s not seeing the 5GHz channel. I’m tempted to say that the KLC only supports 5GHz connectivity with modern routers with modern protocols except that I got this to work before.

Could the KLC have been updated to only support 5GHz with older protocols broadcast in combined 2.4/5GHz channels? My Elipsa1 likely has an older WiFi chip, which would account for why it sees separately broadcasting 2.4 & 5GHz channels using older protocols.
