Arch laptop unable to connect to WiFi extender but connects to router

Hi guys,

Previously my laptop connected to my extender just fine, then suddenly decided it doesn't want to connect. It connects to the router absolute fine however.

Other devices (mobile, Windows machines, etc) connect to the extender no problem also.

Any ideas what could be the cause? Considered perhaps the channel has changed on the extender but I'm not sure how I'd go about matching it up in Arch.

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

How do you (attempt to) connect: iwd or wpa_supplicant? Do you use a network service (eg. NetworkManger)
If you're using NM, post your system journal after failing to connect (it's very chatty and puts wpa_supplicant into debug mode)

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Otherwise post the IO of your manual connection attempt.
