I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. I have a problem connecting to my wifi repeater/range extender.

Main router: Asus RouterRT-N66U
Repeater: ASUS RP-AX58

My phone connects without problems to my main router.
All my devices, except for my phone, connects to my repeater.

In my networks list it shows:
Asus RouterRT-N66U (called ASUS 5G AND ASUS 2.4G).
ASUS RP-AX58 (called ASUS 5G_RPT5G AND ASUS 5G_RPT)
In the list the repeater is marked as saved (logged in correctly), but when choosing the network it doesn't connect.

Any idea how to solve the problem?

Sorry buddy, but don't expect an answer. They aren't so expert here in phone problems !
 
OK, might be that there are no phone experts.

It seems like my repeater ASUS RP-AX58 use wifi 6. My phone worked well with the old repeater that used wifi 4. Maybe the phone isn't compatible with wifi 6?
I have no idea if I can change the repeater to use wifi 4 instead of wifi 6?
 
It’s unlikely that your phone will have compatibility issues with Wi-Fi 6, as the standard is designed to be backward compatible with previous versions like Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). This means that even if your phone doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6, it should still be able to connect to the network without any issues.
