Model: Archer T8E  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

This problem has been doing my head in for the past couple weeks. 

 

Some information:

- My Archer T8E card is installed on my PC and is detected by device manager; it is 5ghz compatible. 

- My 5Ghz network is detected by my mobile phone and laptop which are in the same room as my PC. 

- I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the most recent driver. 

 

 

But still, my 5Ghz network does not show up on my PC when I browse available 5Ghz networks. 

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

EDIT: 

 

I solved this issue by changing my router channel from 149 to 36.

Thank you for sharing the case solution, 

For users who met similar issue, here is a guide  to change 5Ghz channel on router: ( Band1 channels 36/40/44/48 are recommended)

 Why cannot the adaptor detect the 5G Wi-Fi of my router?
