I've been running an 85ft CAT8 cable for the past week and decided to purchase the Nighthawk A9000 USB WIFI 7 Adapter.
Do you have other 6 Ghz devices that do connect?
What PC are you using (and what OS version)?
How far away is the PC from the BE550?
What other peripherals (if any) are also connected to the PC?
