RT-AX86U Works great, except when it doesn't.

[ATLga]

New router seems to be performing well at my home with all of my devices except for my work laptop. Work laptop connects successfully, but some things are blocked and won't load (Microsoft IE, Outlook, Teams). Work laptop connects via Cisco AnyConnect VPN using the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 adapter. When I swap back to my old router (Apple Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac Model A1470 ver 7.9.1), everything works successfully. So, it seems that I need to change a setting in the RT-AX86U, which is currently using defaults. By the way, the RT-AX86U GUI defaults all of the Passthrough settings to 'Enabled'. Below are the settings on my old router (there are relatively few) should anything jump out as an obvious change I should make on the RT-AX86U GUI. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
