Hi,

 

Is the Archer T4U able to "see" the wireless network, but it fails to establish a connection to it?

 

Mobile hotspots of smartphones often broadcast on channel 149 or higher. You could check the actual channel in use on another client device that is able to connect to the mobile hotspot.

 

However, if your Archer T4U was made for the European market, then it's possible that it doesn't support channels higher than 140.

 

So you might want to check if it is possible to change the 5 GHz channel of your mobile hotspot.

Hi,

I've checked the channel of my mobile hotspot when its 2.4GHz and its channel 6. Also, I should specify that it can't see it if I just open my hotspot while using 5GHz but if it's already connected to it, it will be able to see it but not connect to it.

The channel numbers used for the 2.4 GHz band are different than the channel numbers used for the 5 GHz band.

 

Like I mentioned previously, you need another device that can see the hotspot when its set at 5 GHz to get the channel number.
