Ralink RT3090 WiFi Adapter Compatibility With WiFi 7?

[lpowelllap]

I have an old HP Pavilion dv6 laptop running Windows 10. It has a Ralink RT3090 802.1 1b//g/n WiFi adapter.

Despite its age, I have never had any previous issues connecting over WiFi to my home network; however, I recently upgraded my router to WiFi 7 (Sagemcom F@ST 5598 WiFi 7 hub) and now the laptop will not connect to the internet. It appears to connect wirelessly to the 2.4GHz "legacy" channel on the network ("No internet, secured") but network diagnostics indicate "The network adapter does not have a valid IP configuration" and the WiFi adapter states "Unidentified Network". The WiFi symbol does not appear in the taskbar. 

I have tried restarting the router, resetting the network stack, disabling and then re-enabling the network adapter and trying a fixed IP address, but none of these seem to have worked.

All my other devices, including some legacy devices, work fine with the new router. The problem is only with the HP laptop/Ralink WiFi network adapter.

Has anybody else come across this and has a fix for it, or is it simply the case that the Ralink adapter is so old that it just cannot communicate properly with the router?
