Model: Archer TBE550E  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I can connect to my TP-Link wifi 7 router, but not reconnect after the PC wakes up from sleep or hibernate.  Sometimes, if I wait literally minutes, I can get internet access, but usually I have to manually connect to an SSID to force a new connection, and even then it's slow.  I updated to the latest driver version yesterday and the symptoms haven't changed.  Please advise.

Hello@JavaJim,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

Do you have a different PC or Network adapter to test for comparison?

The latest driver is Archer TBE550E(UN)_V1_20250703_Win11 now. Have you updated to it?

 

Please provide here the operating system info of the PC:

How can you check and update your Windows Operating System version?

It sounds like your Archer TBE550E is having issues with Windows 11’s power management. Even with the latest driver, Wi-Fi adapters sometimes fail to auto-reconnect after sleep/hibernate. Try these steps:

 

  1. Disable power saving for the adapter:

    • Go to Device Manager → Network adapters → Archer TBE550E → Properties → Power Management → uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  2. Disable Fast Startup:

    • Control Panel → Power Options → Choose what the power buttons do → Turn off fast startup.

  3. Set Wi-Fi profile to auto-reconnect:

    • Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → Manage known networks → select your network → set "Connect automatically".

  4. Optional: Check for Windows updates or router firmware updates, as Wi-Fi 7 is new and may have compatibility fixes.


If issues persist, sometimes a clean driver uninstall and reinstall (or using TP-Link’s installer instead of Windows driver) resolves reconnection delays.

  @James-Miller_23, @JavaJim, 

 

I have the TBE550E on Win11 Home running the latest f/w (Driver 5.4.0.3119) listed on the D/L page for drivers,  Archer TBE550E(US)_V1.60_20250703_Win11 and I do NOT have that problem.

 

In addition to the above 'settings', another to look at is IN your POWER PLAN for Link State Power, I've got it OFF:

 

31fb8c09a2274b57beeb81d11ceee850

 

This disables power-saving on PCIe links, which can potentially improve performance in some cases by eliminating the delay that occurs when a link wakes up from a low-power state.  

 

I can't say for sure if this will help, but it is what I have mine set too... this is more for a laptop I assume to save battery power, not needed for desktop on AC power.
