    Try using channel 149. The upper channels are allowed to broadcast at higher power.

    Check the driver settings for the tplink and make sure the 5 GHz band is enabled.

    Run a Wi-Fi surveyor program, like inSSIDer, vistumbler, or Acrylic Wi-Fi. It will report what networks it can see.

    Make sure the antennas on both the router and tplink card are properly installed.
