I have an ASUS RT-AC66U router, an Apple Airport Express (2ng gen, 802.11n/g), and a laptop with the dreaded Intel Wireless-N 7260 card. The 66U is set as the router/dhcp and the Airport Express is in bridge mode.
The 7260 has been terrible on Wifi. It seems much better out of range of the Airport Express when it uses the AC66U. However, when near the Airport Express, I get drops, major throughput degradation, and a card that seems confused. Its almost unusable.
I have the AirportExpress set to use 2.4Ghz on channel 1, and ASUS on 2.4 Ghz channel 9. I am thinking that the 5Ghz channel for the Airport and ASUS should be the same. Can someone help me on whether that makes sense or not?
Any other help perfecting the configuration would be appreciated. Intel says the problem is Windows 8.1 on the 7260. I think the problem is the 7260 hardware, but you guys would know better.
