Hi this adapter just isnt finding the 5 Ghz band avaialble on my dual band wifi through talk talk using the gateway eero 6 router. In the router we cannot specify 5 Ghz per device they should just pick it up if they can. My Sont phone finds it no problem. Can someone talk me through some steps to conencting to 5Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz. It is a 150mbps connection and my Tp_link adapter is getting 40mbps using usb3 and the 2.4 Ghz band and my mobile is getting 140mbps on the 5Ghz band. How can i force the adapter to find the 5Ghz band or will this adapter not work with my router? Thanks.

If the eero 6 allowed you to change the channel, then anything from 36 to 64 or from 100 to 112 would be preferable.
It's difficult to say for sure which particular dongle limits the channels you are allowed to use. However, any dongle that is specifically labelled for "EU" use is certainly more likely to be limited than a dongle that doesn't feature any region designation.
By the way, what is the version of the driver you are using?

@83dons Hi it is driver version 1030.38.712.2019 is this the correct one?

That driver is somewhat old, but it doesn't matter with regards to the channels. I have now got an Archer T4U "EU" myself and haven't found a way to make it work on channels 149 and higher. The region lock must be within the dongle itself.
