Unable to connect to R7000 AC network
I just purchased an RNX-AC1300PCE Wireless Dual Band PCI-Express Adapter. After installing it, however, I can only connect to my R7000's 5GHz network in 802.11a or the 2.4GHz network in 802.11. I hav...
Looks like there's new drivers for the card, if this is yours... Rosewill link
EDIT: Ensure WMM is still enabled on the router.

Interesting...
The drivers are indeed up to date. The link is the same one I originally downloaded, and while it says that it was updated in September, the date on the driver itself is still 2014 (weird, right?)
WMM was not enabled on the router. I turned it on there, and also changed it to Enabled on the card settings, and now it's reporting around 150-250 Mbps based on interference, and is on 802.11n, which I suppose is better, but I'm still apparently not getting the AC connection I want.
Now I'm wondering what other settings may be incorrect on my router. I have done a bit of customization on it from time to time, such as assigning static IP addresses and some port forwarding. I don't recall turning WMM off, though. I don't know why I would.
At two bars of signal the Rate will drop significantly. The router ALWAYS broadcast in AC it cannot be disabled focus on the client and it's settings
Certain client are succeptible to connect only at lower or higher range channel for bonding.
So try 40 range and 150 range and see if you can connect to ac speed avg rate is 565 or 350 or 650 max 866 which is very hard to get.
I have an Intel chipset radio in one of my laptops. It has a setting - VHT - which allowed me to connect at 867 Mbps. Hopefully, your wireless card has a setting similar to VHT. You may have to go through every setting for your card. Change a setting, do some testing. And, or, try a different card.
866 all day long @ 30' & 520 @ 50' Using Intel AC 7260
