    RT-AC86U Connection To Desktop Issues

    As a follow-up. I still have to use my RT-N66U as a switch for LAN access to the RT-AC86U. However, I did fix the inability of my desktop to connect wireless to the 86U by disabling the Universal Beamforming.

    RT-AC86U Connection To Desktop Issues

    I recently replaced my RT-N66U with an RT-AC86U to get better signal strength as well as better throughput. The new router connects to my laptop with both 4.2 GHz and 5 GHz as well as by cable to one of the LAN ports. HOWEVER, my desktop will not connect either through the LAN ports or through...
