I'm trying to connect my M3 MC-6500S to my WiFi, though for some reason it's not finding any networks. It found an open network for a moment, but other than that it's not showing anything at all, even when I'm right next to the router. It does however connect to my phone's hotspot just fine and pinging google works.
What could be wrong?

Can you try adding your network as a hidden network?
Also can you see what security settings your router is using?

How could I add it as a hidden network?

Ensure that your AP broadcasts its 2.4GHz channel width at 20MHz and not 40/80 and that 802.11b is enabled, not just 802.11g/n/ac/ax as applicable.

All of those seem to be true for the AP, though it still doesn't seem to want to find it. Connecting to it with a WiFi SDIO card on another CE device is totally fine though for some reason
