Software shows all my neighbour's signals - but not either of mine.

do the dongle and your router have a frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) in common?

+1

Dave. The dongle may (only) be the older 2.4GHz band whereas your
router may be set to only use the 5Ghz band (hence why it isn't seen).

If you look at the router config (probably in the 'advanced' section)
you should see mention of such.
