Troubleshooting • Re: RPi cannot see Xfinity wifi

So as indicated in my last reply (possibly sent after your last reply?), I'd previously disabled the router's 5GHz band. The router ("XFI advanced gateway (XB6)) doesn't seem to have a 6GHz band.

One more datum - I made a new boot uSD "disk" with the legacy bullseye OS. I was able to get it to connect to the wifi network on my RPi-2B unit, and was able to specify the static IP# with the dhcpcd.conf. Of course, this doesn't use NetworkManager. I'd certainly like to be able to use the current bookworm OS. This is consistent with the single RPi-ZeroW running bullseye (that works) and the other RPis (two RPi-ZeroWs, one RPi-Zero2W, and the same RPi-2B) running bookworm that couldn't find my wifi SSID. On the bullseye systems, scanning for available wifi networks shows my wifi network each time, only rarely showing any of the others!?!

ISTM that the problem lies somewhere in the current implementation of the NetworkManager - wifi interactions on the Pi. I don't see any way that I could have misconfigured things so that scanning would suppress showing my wifi network while showing others. I'm puzzled though - surely others must have run into this problem?
