Hey everyone, I just upgraded my PC with a new 6E motherboard (MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI). I have two routers set up for testing. My computer connects to the weaker one (ATT 5G) and gets online, but with the stronger gaming router (TP-link 5G) it shows connected yet no internet access. All other devices are working fine on each router. When I switch to the gaming router, it displays signal rates but nothing loads. I've tried several fixes already: reinstalling drivers from MSI, rebooting both PC and router, clearing DNS, and checking if the SSID splits between the 5G and 2.4G routers—none of that works. The TP-Link Archer 3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 is also connected but not functional. Any advice would be appreciated!

It's clear from what you've said. Since you didn't specify, I'll confirm the connection.

I understand, I can make the PC function properly on your ATT router, but I don’t want to rely on that option since it offers reduced performance.

Hello there! Do you have two Wi-Fi connections available? You can link to the TP network using your phone and access the internet via it. Be sure to disable mobile data for this setup.

I have two networks. Almost all devices in my home use the TP-link and function properly, including my phone (tested without mobile data).
