Hi everyone, I have a recent problem with my network card (Archer T6E from TP Link). Every time I start my PC with Windows 10, the list of available networks does not appear, and checking the Device Manager shows an error code 12 for my network card. So I have to delete the driver, restart my PC, then reinstall the driver in hopes of accessing the list of networks.
I've already changed the network card to a different PCI port, I've updated the BIOS of my motherboard, tried several other beta drivers, in short, nothing works... Well, you understand that this is quickly becoming quite embarrassing, not to mention that I'm wearing out my components twice as fast as normal...
Has anyone encountered this problem or have a solution? Thank you very much.

Hello,
please note that this card is available in two versions (V1 and V2). Download the driver for the correct version, which is indicated on the label on the card https://www.tp-link.com/fr/support/download/archer-t6e/

A hello, a reply, a thank you are always appreciated.-
Hello, it is indeed the driver corresponding to the version of my card that I have, there is no mistake about that...
- Check if you have the latest version of Windows 10. To do this, go to this page, click on Update now, which will start the download of the Microsoft tool. Just open it and it will allow you to update Windows 10 to the latest version and let you know if it is compatible with your PC. Be aware that this update takes some time, and if you have a laptop, plug it into the power outlet, as it would be a shame to run out of battery before the update is completed.

Is Windows 10 32 or 64 bits?

Currently, what is the version and date of the driver?

Thank you for your response, but after installing this driver last night and restarting, this morning I encountered exactly the same problem.
- What is important on a forum is to describe the problem accurately; from the beginning, you should have provided this information that has nothing to do with the driver issue you have been discussing since the first message. It's frustrating to waste time on a problem that is not the right one.
You need to disable the device that has been configured on the same port, maybe another WiFi network card, it's up to you to check since you have the PC in your hands. This will be my last message.
Good luck.

The problem is the wireless card Archer T6E that you installed or the one that is integrated, namely the Broadcom?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows key + X
Device Manager
What do you see under network adapters?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows key + R
Type --> winver and OK
What's the version?

Here’s what I have in my network cards:
The problem comes from the Archer T6E card that I installed in my PC. The default name of this network card is TP-Link network adapter something (I don't remember the exact name), and when I install the Broadcom driver you gave me, the name changes to "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter."
The version of Windows is 21H1.

As mentioned earlier, a possible conflict with another device, check in the BIOS.
