Tablet can't find my wifi (phone does) - how to debug or add manually?

My tablet finds all of my neighbours' wifi networks, but not my own - it is not even displayed in the list. Interestingly, all other devices can find it, including Jolla phone.

Restarting the tablet did not work, neither did wifi off/onn and flight mode off/on. I have been able to connect to another home network in another flat previously.

I am totally clueless what to do, any ideas? Is it possible to debug an issue like this? I also tried to edit an existing wifi settings file as suggested here but the changed wifi wasn't displayed in the UI.

First thing that comes to my mind: any chance you are using a high channel? Some hardware can't see channels higher than 11 (on 2.4 GHz)

Thanks so much, that did the trick! The channel was set to "auto" so it has been using 13. I configured it to use 5 and everything works like charm. That said, I hope this issue will be fixed in SailfishOS, as it makes a crappy 1st time user experience.
