I can connect to WiFi 6 802.11ax with the TBE6500UH.  I have a brand-new UniFi setup with one U7 Pro Max AP and two U7 Pro APs with a Cloud Gateway Ultra.  I am running Win 11 Pro version 24H2.  I have tried two different laptops with no success and tried reinstalling.

I have two diffrent PC's one is a intel based mother board DELL xps8940 and another my sons AMD processor based gaming pc. His pc is newer then mine by 2 years and shockingly came with wifi 5 card, so i upgraded it to wifi 7. i got the archer BE9300 PCIE card for him, which just came out, latest drivers and of course windows 11 24H2 version built of windows... i cant even connect to MLO * Multi link operations where wifi connects to 2 diffrent bands at the same time. i had similar issues on my intel based pc, but after updating it to 24H2 i am now able to connect to 5ghz and 6ghz band at the same time. The wifi card i am running is intel BE200. what am i trying to say is, do you know if your pc's are intel based if so updating to windows 11 24H2 should have worked but if you have AMD based i dont think windows 11 24h2 will support it just yet. i had some issues with amd because few PCIE wifi cards wit intel BE200 chip i kept on ordering were not compatible with AMD. TP links website states that it operates on wifi 7 ( the archer BE9300 ) but i think my sons pc is still operating on wifi 6e not wifi 7 like my DELL XPS 8940 which does operate on wifi 7 as of 2 days ago.

  @jake26 Try the driver in the post here:

 

Archer TBE550E won't connect with 2 channels on MLO network - Home Network Community

 

It is newer then anything posted on the website and made it so my adapter connected with 2 channels.

Both my laptops are Intel based.  Can you tell on the compter you are connecting to multiple bands?

  @skiingj when you go to the wifi settings on the computer, it will show you what frequencies you are connected to.  With the MLO settings it will show 2 of them if it is working correctly.

  @skiingj yes i am going to show you with a screen shot.. this is intel base running windows 11 24h2 built and wifi card intel be200 with latest drivers, you can see on the very bottom is says its connected to 5ghz and 6ghz band at the same time.. if it was a single band either 5ghz or 6ghz would show, but there are two bands there.. i can see it connected to 2 bands as well on my tp link deco mesh system under connection preferences in app.

  @DVair i downloaded the newest driver from this forum and still connecting to only 6ghz band it did fix the issue where it was favoring 5ghz band, i had to force connect to 6ghz band... still only connecting to only one band though.

  @jake26 system is not on right now but it connects with 2.4 and 5.  It is pretty far away from router and has a floor and a couple of walls between.  So pretty happy that it connects as it does.

  @skiingj 

There seems to be two driver versions but with different model number.  Anyone know why?
