Laptop w/Manjaro not connecting to AP

Hello,

Unsure if this belongs in the Manjaro Forum or here, but I'll try here first.

Just flashed my 2 Linksys WRT3200ACM Router with OpenWRT, and every device seems to connect fine except my main laptop which has the latest Manjaro on it using an:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 [8086:24f3] (rev 3a)

However - the laptop connects fine to other AP (like my mobile phone when hotspotting) and hence the reason for me posting here first.

I really have no idea where to start.

The laptop can see the network just fine, but when connecting it does not connect properly. Here is the some of log:

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Would be easier to track down your problem if we would know anything about your laptop...

I am having several issues with the AP's, not just this issue - so I used a BF Deal and ordered 2 Belkin RT3200 to take the old WRT3200's place.

Apparently, unbeknown to me, the Linksys Routers are not a fan favorite, to say the least.

So I am hoping that the Belkins will fix this problem as the laptop works completely fine with all other AP that i have tried....
