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.

Hello bobfee,
I am glad to know the issue has been resolved. I guess power cycling is always an option and this may be a good reference for other users as well.
Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Jonathan B.
