A6210 drivers not work on Windows 11 - Cannot connect to 5G
Dear Support, Here is my equipment: Network Adapter: A6210 Router: TP-LINK XDR6080 Computer OS: Windows 11 The 5G of A6210 does not work on Windows 11. Before, on Windows 10, I installed ...
Thanks, I have fixed this issue.
Before I update the setting, the Windows cannot found the SSID of 5G .
Now, I go to the Computer -> Device manager -> Network Adapter -> Right Click NETGEAR A6210 WiFi USB3.0 Adapter -> Attributes -> Advanced -> Channel Mode -> Change 2.4G+5G to 5G only.
I have contected to Wi-Fi 5 with 802.11ac once do above update, so this is maybe a Windows 11 bug?
does the tp-link use a form of smart connect? Or combining the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands?
If so, you can disable that so you can choose which band to connect it.

Its probably more a feature of the way windows bandsteers. If your router is a router that is single ssid/bandsteering, windows connects to a set band and uses its own algorithm to determine which to connect ton dynamically. When you change it in the settings, it forces it to choose one band over the other.
