[SOLVED] USB WiFi Adapter only connecting to 2.4ghz channel

[alexander0hamilton]

Right now, I have an Erro pro as my wifi router. The network is outputting 2.4ghz and 5ghz through one channel. On the Erro app, I am able to see if the device is connecting to the 5ghz channel or the 2.4ghz channel. All of my devices are able to connect to the 5ghz channel except my PC. My PC has a Tp-Link Archer T2U PLus, which supports AC. Whenever I try to connect to my network, my PC only connect to the 2.4ghz. I've tried updating my drivers but nothing works. I even configured the adapter to only connect to AC wifi, but it doesn't connect to the wifi.

Try changing the channel the 5Ghz is on. It may be the case that TP Link doesn't like some channels. MANUALLY set the router 5Ghz channel to 36. That channel is universally available. Some countries limit the allowed 5Ghz channels. TP Link driver may use the limited set and not use country specific settings.

Am I suppose to change the channel in the Erro app or in a browser? In the app, I am unable to find the settings or the app can't change the channel for the 5ghz.

Usually logging into the router via the browser. I never use vendor apps. Always go directly to the device via the browser.

Just found out that the Eero doesn't have a web interface

Then I guess you have to use the app. I am not familiar with it. But you should be able to change from "auto" to a manual channel number.
