I am having trouble connecting lap tops to my WIFI. I have a Linksys EA4500 router that worked fine when i got it but now laptops cannot find my router. I've had a few different laptops try and connect to the router but none of them can find it. i can connect tablets, phones and games systems no problems. I've restored my laptop to an earlier date and uninstalled and re-installed my laptops wifi driver but it hasn't fixed the issue. I also reset and set up my router again and that hasn't fixed it. Any helps appreciated, Thanks!

Certain devices do not play well with certain routers, and that may be the situation.

Not sure if the laptops are Apple as there is a known issue with connecting them to this router.

I had one of these routers, and it gave out after a few years. I would try to upgrade the firmware on it to the latest. If the issue persisted, I think it will be more cost effective to get a new 802.11ac router, rather than get individual USB adapters for each laptop to get it connected.
