Well, that's in line with the reviews of the T4U V2 USB adapter (assuming that's what you have; keep in mind that "AC1300" is the chipset's Phy rate capability, not the model name). It sounds like garbage. You could try updating the drivers with the links listed for RTL8812AU at the URL below, but don't get your hopes up since other reviews complain about the same throughput problems.

the model is archer t6e

For T6E, you can find the latest Windows 10-compatible drivers for the BCM4352 chip below:

Or Linux drivers at the link below:

TP-Link adapters have a habit of being DOA or failing after a while.

That's probably the right move, getting a refund. As for which card to get, it depends on your router. The ASUS PCE-AC88 is capable of 4x4 MIMO on 802.11n and 802.11ac, and can modulate up to 1024-QAM, but not every router can do that. Which router model do you have?

 

[gianis147]

my router can send 2.4ghz 5ghz
802.11b/g/n 802.11a/n/ac

my router can send 2.4ghz 5ghz
802.11b/g/n 802.11a/n/ac

But is it 2x2 MIMO, 3x3 MIMO, etc.? I can tell you the answer if you have the router model ID handy.
