    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.
