My apologies for not being clearer.  After some experimentation, I've discovered that I can get the fans to connect if I disable AX mode on 2.4Ghz AND set the CTS value for 2.4Ghz to 2347.  Either one by itself won't work.  And it's a real pain because if you change either of those settings after you've managed to reconnect the fans, you have to go through the whole process again in order to connect the fans again.  So once you've changed those settings, don't change them again!
