connected to 802.11n not 802.11ac
Hello, I own an Acer Predator Helios 300 laptop equipped with a Killer® Wireless-AC 1550i adapter (model 9560NGW) and a 160MHz network card. My router supports up to 867 MBPS via AC protocol (802.11ac). I’ve tried various solutions: updated laptop drivers and router firmware, reinstalled drivers, updated Windows, changed network card settings to prioritize AC and 5 GHz, set the router to only use AC, and even switched to a Killer card supporting 802.11a. Still, it connects to 802.11a instead of AC most of the time. The card works on 802.11n but not on 5 GHz. Tp-link support claims compatibility issues with these cards and hasn’t provided a clear fix. They’ve given me numerous instructions, but nothing has resolved the problem. I’m reaching out to Tp-link support for further guidance. My Wi-Fi details: VHT channel 36, signal strength 85 dBm, speeds listed at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. The card supports up to 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels with a guard interval of 20 or 40 MHz. It also supports 80 MHz and 802.11 mod 802.11a. If you have any more questions, let me know.
How close are you to the router? If you're too distant, the signal might be weak.
the router is positioned about a meter away from the laptop, with a signal strength of 93. your tv is located in between the router and the laptop.

I’d choose an Intel AC adapter such as the one listed here: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Dual-Band-W...B01MZA1AB2. Just plug it in.
