Orbi 770 - Use MLO backhaul? Use 5Ghz DFS or leave at 40? And Wifi 7 connection issue questions.
I recently purchased the RBE773 (Orbi 770 3-pack system) - got a nice deal 1) 5 GHz - Use channel 40 (default) or one of the 5GHz DFS channels? Is there a benefit to changing the 5GHz channel fr...
I bought a Archer BE9500 PCI adapter last year to see if it would work on MLO. Would not. Turned out TP-Link didn't have MLO implemented. They use MicroTek I believe. I returned it. I watched the threads over there but wasn't sure if they got it implemented. There is ariticles about that Mfr being under scrutiny now.
Since then I bought a Intel BE200 PCI card and it fully supports MLO on Win11 24H2.
You might try NGs USB Adatpers and see or find you a Intel based USB MLO adapter.

Just played around with it today and my Archer TBE6500UH Wifi 7 USB adapter is still only connecting to the Orbi 770's 5 GHz network.
Perhaps this is expected behavior, but would have expected it to connect to the 6GHz band?
Thanks for the feedback Furry! Have to run, but will post more later...
In the meantime, I did post some tests and thoughts above (not in response to your post, which I did not get a chance to reply to.
Keep us posted. đ
My TP-Link BE6500 Archer TBE6500UH does NOT show 802.11be as being supported:
I ran this in cmd prompt C:\Windows\System32>netsh wlan show driver
"Radio types supported : 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n 802.11ac 802.11ax 802.11a"
I have Windows 11 24H2 and I am using the official Wifi driver, so no clue why 802.11be is not showing as supported.
Odd...
FYI, That Mfr seems to be late to come forth with new stuff after they go to market. I bought one of there BE series PCI cards last year. Had no BE or MLO support so I returned it. No idea if they ever got MLO support on it or not. I can't recommend that company.
