Intel AC7260 issues with Orbi

Question

Since the latest FW update I've started having issues with the AC7260 wifi card driver locking up my laptop (hard reboot required). I've tried updating the 7260 FW and removing and rinstalling the driver.

When I connect to either of the other 802.11a/n/ac routers I have, there is no issue but withing 30 min of connecting back to the Orbi the card is locked up again. I've been using the laptop with the Orbi since the day it was released and this issue only seemd to start with the last Orbi FW update.

Has anyone else seen similar issues?

I've done some additional testing and if I disable 5Ghz on the card, everything seems to work fine.&nbsp; I've now tested at 5Ghz on 4 other newer APs with no issue but I still can't use the Orbi at 5Ghz without the card locking up.&nbsp;

This was not happening on a previous firmware?

For me it only started with latest firmware and I have had the Orbi when it first released.
