Wireless AC 8260

[idata]

Lately, My NUC 6i5SYH will not connect to my router. Has been for a year now. Different drivers do not help. How can you tell if the AC 8260 is working correctly, and can it be replaced.

Sigh (feeling rather dumb) - it turns out that after resetting my router all was good again.

Thanks for your help Jonathon.
