Model: Archer TX3000E

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: Driver: 22.150.0.3 (intel driver as last tp-link one is super outdated)

Good day,

So I play a lot of VR games using my Oculus QUest 2. With the coming of Windows 11.... the regular USB link doesnt work at all. A work around i found is using Air Link ( wireless Wi-Fi based).

I found that my router works ok, but i wanted to try and use my pc as a hotspot and directly connect to it. This should have negligable speed gains but as it would be the only device to connect to that "router or hotspot" it would work out better.

As i was tinkering with the adapter i went to the Device manager > Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX 200 160Mhz device > Properties > Advanced and selected the 5ghz band ( also checked the 2.4ghz). There i could only select 20Mhz all of the others werent able to be selected. The options to select were 20Mhz and Auto. I would like to know if i can make a hotspot, and force it to use the 160Mhz band or 80 etc. ( those that arent as crowded ). Any help would be much apreciated. Thanks!

Hello @YSakurai

The Wi-Fi Channel width is set on the router/AP side, you could login router and set up Channel bandwidth to higher one, e.g. 5Ghz 80/160Mhz, 2.4Ghz 40Mhz.

In Router 2.4Ghz wireless security, please choose WPA/WPA2(AES) instead of TKIP.

Then see if you can set higher bandwidth on the TX3000E network properties. Or select Auto and see the Wifi link speed

Here is how to change channel width on TP-Link router for reference.

If still the same, please share a photo of wireless settings on the router, and adapter properties channel width setting here.
