Thanks for the suggestion. I think there is a way to do that, and I will give it a try soon. In the meantime, the Verizon model number is CR1000A. More info on it here: https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/equipment/routers/verizon-router

  @TP-Link Hello! OK, I just tried disabling the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, and my adapter did indeed connect to 6 GHz -- It looks like it is not as strong a connection (WIndows 11 showing it at about half strength), so I guess this is why it is preferring the 5 GHz network. My computer is upstairs from the router, so maybe the 6 GHz band doesn't travel through the ceiling well?

 

I also have the router inside a TV stand... Tried taking it out of there and the signal does improve significantly, so maybe this was the issue as well. 

 

Thanks for your help!

To troubleshoot the issue with your Archer TXE72E adapter not connecting to the 6 GHz network, you can try the following steps. First, ensure that the adapter's driver is up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website and download the latest driver specifically designed for Windows 11. Next, check your router settings to confirm that the 6 GHz network is enabled and broadcasting properly. You may also want to adjust the channel settings for the 6 GHz network to avoid interference. Additionally, try restarting both the adapter and the router to refresh their connections. If the issue persists, you can consider contacting the support team for your adapter or router for further assistance.
