Hi,

I have the Archer TX20U Plus USB adapter for a while now. From day 1 I have problems that I am trying to solve.

The device works perfectly if it is found by Windows 11 and connected to WiFi. So no problems then.

However, it can sometimes take minutes for the device to activate after starting up my laptop. I turn on my laptop, Windows is loading and sometimes the light on the adapter turnes on after a few seconds and there is a connection, but other times it takes minutes before the light turnes on and there is a connection (after logging in Windows).

I've already done everything. I have completely uninstalled Bitdefender, I have disabled the Microsoft antivirus and Firewall, I have disabled all services (except Microsoft), I have disabled all other software via the Autoruns program, but the problem still persists.

The same thing also happens when I am in Windows. When I remove the adapter from the USB port and reconnect it after a few seconds. Sometimes the light turnes on almost immediately, other times it takes minutes.

The USB port is good because I have a wired mouse and when I connect it to that USB port I always have a direct connection. Even if I take it in and out several times in a row.

What else can I do? Is this a known problem? This is impossible to work with. When I turn on the PC, I want Internet immediately and not want to wait for minutes.
