Model: Archer TBE552E  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Archer TBE552E V1.0_20241023

Currently, I am using the TBE552E product and TP-LINK's TL-7DR7230, a China domestic model.

 

This router supports dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and I want to use MLO by connecting it with a network adapter.

 

However, only the 5GHz band is being recognized, and MLO is not being activated.Is there anyone who has experienced a similar issue?
(Both the adapter and router are running the latest firmware versions.)

 

I think.. the settings on the router seem to be configured correctly.

Hi,

 

To have any chance of getting support for MLO I think you should update to the "real" latest driver version, not the latest driver from the TP-Link website.

 

I recommend downloading this one and updating it manually via the Device Manager. (need to extract the contents of the cab file)

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=5.4.0.3044

 

Below is what I get when I am connected to a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router with my MT7925 card, which uses the same driver as the MT7927 on the Archer TBE552E.

As you can see MLO is still not working right, even with the currently latest driver version 5.4.0.3044. It does show both bands as connected, but the "Aggregated link speed" is only the link speed of the 5 GHz band.

Perhaps you have more luck than I.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to your help, I was able to succeed.

I really wanted to see it connected via MLO, and I finally made it happen.

 

Perhaps it was thanks to your prayers that I managed to achieve a connection speed of 3570 Mbps.

 

It may be the same file, but just in case, I’ll share the link to the driver I installed.

Once again, thank you for your help.

 

Wishing you a wonderful day!

  @kogoko Hello, 

 

I've just bought this wifi card and I'm not getting good speed results. 

 

I just wanted to know if you have tweaked some settings once you installed the card on your PC ? 

 

Also, can the MBO affect the performance ?

Hello Dali0315

I didn't do any special settings other than installing the driver.

When I enabled MLO, there was a speed increase of up to 3-5%.

However, I experienced increased latency and slightly unstable connection compared to using 5Ghz alone.

 

The most effective thing was to change the position of the PCIE LAN card antenna. 
If the antenna is located at the back of the desktop, I suggest purchasing an extension cord and antenna base to move the antenna to a better location for reception.
