Hi,
I recently have been having issues with my Archer T6E wifi adapter card. It's unable to achieve speeds greater than 2mpbs on download. I've tried the newest drivers from the TPLink support page without any improvement. I'm running windows 10 and have an Asus Z170A motherboard, I'm also using a Bell Home hub 3000 for a router. On a laptop in the same room, I can achieve speeds of 70 mbps consistently so I believe the issue is with the adapter itself.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Kathy, thank you for the reply!
I have tried that driver and unfortunately, the problem still persists.

I'm currently in an apartment living situation and cannot change the router's 5ghz settings.
The 70 mbps is achievable over a wireless connection with both my laptop and mobile device in the same room.

The link speed on the device is 162 mbps.

Our current wifi configuration also only has the 5Ghz band enabled.

 

The driver version is 7.35.351.0

Here's a screen shot for my system information.
