The router issue seems isolated to your laptop while others connect fine. Check connection cables, power supply, and ensure the router is online. Verify Wi-Fi settings on your laptop and consider restarting both devices.

The laptop is quite old. The new router can handle 5GHz or higher frequencies, while the old laptop only works with 2.4GHz.

Which router is being used? Which laptop is connected? Are the laptop's capabilities compatible with the current router's WiFi version?
