Problem seeing my B3 when connected via 802.11ac

I have a macbook pro, and I'm having an odd problem with it - I can't see my b3 when connected to my home network via 802.11ac.
The way my home network is set up is very, very simple. I have an an Asus RT-AC68U router, the b3 is connected to it via ethernet, and I have a couple of devices that connect wirelessly to it - a roku, a couple of mobile devices, and my laptop.
When the laptop is connected to the router via 802.11n, I can see the b3. When it's connected via 802.11ac, I cannot, nor can I connect to it by using Finder > Go > Connect to Server. However, I can connect via ssh.
I posted this question in a Mac forum, and someone told me the reason I can't see the b3, when connected via 802.11ac, is because the b3 doesn't support 802.11ac, and thus won't report on the network, even though it's connected via ethernet. That sounds a bit counterintuitive to me, so I wanted to ask here, and see if you guys agreed that that could be the problem.
