Unable to RDP on LAN

I have just replaced my old Mesh system with a new Orbi RBRB850. After getting all setup I am unable to RDP from my MacBook to my Windows 10 Laptop. Both Devices are Physically plugged in to the Orbi...

    I have resolved the issue.

     

    It is the oddest thing. On the Windows machine I opened Network settings, went to Advanced sharing and changed the file sharing connections from 128bit to 40/56bit. This allowed me to connect using the RDP app on the Mac. I then changed the setting back (Just attempting to prove this was the issue) and it continues to connect.
