Orbi RBK753S issue with Desktop only

I have an odd issue. I upgraded to the Orbi RBK753S sold at Costco. Setup was easy and everything is working except for one item. I have a desktop with an Asus Wireless PCI-E Adapter. For some reason...

Be sure that CTS and RTS values are changed to 2347 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

    What is the connection rate that the asus adapter is connecting at with the Orbi wifi?

      It says 650Mbps. However when it does connect I haven't gotten anywhere above 30Mbps on a speed test. I have 500 Mbps service.

        What happens if you disable AX mode? 

        Ensure the adapter drivers are up to date.


        Sounds like this adapter maybe having problems with Orbi wifi. If this is the only device thats having problems and others don't, I would look more into this adapter.
