Model: TL-WN821N

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version: TL-WN821N(EU)_V6_181023_Win

Hi,

My laptop doesn't support 5G network. So I bought this adapter to connect with 5G network.

I have followed the instructions which has provided in the quick installation guide.

Installed the driver from the web and automatically it has detected the 2G network and connected without asking authentication and it's not listing the 5G network.

Also installed the WPS tool.

Tried twice uninstall and re-install the driver. Did I miss anything during the installation?

Is this adapter supports 5G network?

Let me know if this model doesn't support 5G, what are the other models support 5G.

Cheers,

Shiv

@ShivMgn

Hello, this TL-WN821N is a single band network adapter, supports 2.4GHz only. That is why you cannot detect 5GHz.

You can order some dual band network adapter, like Archer T2U, Archer T4U.

May it help.
