Archer T3U PLUS 1300 driver not working on Windows11
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi, i have a Windows 11 system and the usb adapter that i have bought works fine out of the box with my 5ghz Gigabit wifi signal, and that's on the windows' drivers.
When i tried to install the official latest drivers, the usb adapter disappeared everytime i tried to connect to my wifi 5ghz, simply the usb adapter disappeared from windows !
I had to manually unplug the device and try another 3.0 usb port in order to restart it, and even then the bug would still happen.
In order to fix this i had to reboot in safe mode, and uninstall the official TP-LINK driver , then i have just rebooted the system and the adapter was working fine once again...
Is this issue known to the TP-LINK team? I have always bought products from you, and they always work great as this one T3U PLUS does too!
Just there is this driver bug tho!

Hello @c300g97
For 5Ghz Wi-Fi signal concern on T3U Plus, here is a driver to try :
Realtek Chipset Driver for Archer T2U(Nano/ Pus)/T3U(Nano/ Plus)/T4U(Plus)/T4UH/T9UH (Win7/Win10)
Try to fix 5Ghz channel on wifi router to channel 36/40/44/48 and see if that helps.
If the same, when issue occurs, does the adapter still show up in Device manager > Network adapter (check hardware if recognized) Or what is the error message on Wi-Fi, may I have a photo of it. and a photo of computer motherboard and system info of Window11.

@c300g97 Windows 11 driver may not come out in a short time, so far we recommend to use Win10 64X on WIndows 11.
Can I have a know the driver date of that Windows driver, is it 1030.44? Were you enable to upload the inf. file manually or install it successfully using the setup.exe wizard.
To better assist your case, I will create a support email and escalate your case, please expect a support email within 24 hours, thank you.

Hello @c300g97
I just noticed you mentioned that when take out of box adapter worked fine with 5Ghz wifi, if so you could keep use that Windows driver. (update driver by Windows or remove the driver that causes the issue). If Windows automatically -found driver work stably, can I know the driver date of that driver like 1030.38XX

Hi,
same issue here. On Win11, just out of the box all was running (i.e. connection possible both in 2.4 and 5GHz)
Then I installed the drivers downloaded from product page on tp-link site: connection to 5GHz is refused.
I uninstalled and reverted to Microsoft driver (1030.38.712.2019 29/07/2019) but didn't solved. Connection to 5GHz is refused.
Thanks for any help...

Hello @frs74
Sorry for the late reply, as the solution has been found in the OP, we encourage starting a New Thread for your network adapter.
May I know did you try some suggestions like try a different 5Ghz wifi channel & try the chipset driver? Do not hesitate to provide as many of details as possible, so we could look into that and help further, thank you,
