Does not support 5ghz
I bought it today and connected it, but it works only 2.4 times when I turn on 5Ghz on the phone, the wi-fi adapter just doesn't see the network, I've already tried everything, I don't know what to do.
TP-Link AC1300 Mini Wireless

Most smartphones broadcast their 5 GHz Wi-Fi hotspot on channels 149 and above.
However, TP-Link's current range of USB Wi-Fi AC adapters that are made for the European market (check if the serial number label on the box reads something like "Model: Archer T3U (EU)") do not support channels 149 and above.
So, if you have an "EU" version of the T3U and if your smartphones happen to broadcast their Wi-Fi hotspot on channels 149 or above and don't allow manual channel selection, then it is not possible to solve this problem.

Hi, welcome to our community.
You may refer to Case3 in the guide to troubleshoot:
What should I do if the TP-Link network adapter is not working properly in my computer?
Thank you and best regards.

Hi,
The most important part of the guide that Marvin_S linked to is the text in red color. Were you able to set the channel to 36 ?

@woozle I don't have a modem, I distribute the Internet from my phone, but you can't change channels on the phone, I distributed the Internet from 3 phones and on all of them when you turn on 5GHz Wi-Fi adapter simply doesn't see them. If you know how to change channels on the phone, please share. Thanks
