Just got one of these adapters in.  I have an archer BE500 with 2.4, 5, 6ghz and an MLO network (set to use 5 and 6ghz).   My previous intel be200 adapter, when connecting to the MLO network would utilize both 5 and 6 ghz, but the TBE550E only seems to ever utilize the 5ghz network for MLO.

Any ideas?  Do I need to open a support ticket?

The chipset in this product, MT7927, only supports 2.4ghz + 5ghz/6ghz mlo. It does not support 5ghz + 6ghz mlo. Therefore, the MLO function of this product cannot be used on BE550, which does not support Wi-Fi 7 at 2.4ghz.

Well hell, that would have been nice to know -before- buying the card.  Nothing seemed to indicate it did not support 5+6Ghz MLO

Guess it's going back to Amazon.

  @ssrjazz Yes, to use mlo on be550, it is better to look for a wireless LAN card with QCNCM865 chipset. It supports 5ghz + 6ghz mlo.

I'm using this adapter for some weeks and noticed one hick-up on my system. The bluetooth disappears once in a while (disappears in my system tray). It just dropss and pops up again after a few seconds. It's anoyning because my MX Master mouse looses the connection. Any idea to trouble shoot this? Thanks in advance

  @David-TP Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It happens several times a day. I don't have another bluetooth adapter, I removed it before installing the TP-Link one. I'm prity sure all is well connected but if I find some time, I'll check and try another port.

edit : the other possibility (problem) might be my Logitech MX mouse. I've disabled it and now I'm using a different bluetooth mouse (Microsoft) and see how this goes.

Edit 2 : Just had another quick drop so the mouse isn't the problem.

Edit 3 : Just removed the card, checked the cable and plugged it back in (cable in different usb_port) Let's see how it goes.
