As the title says, whenever I try to connect to the 2.4ghz band of my Wi-Fi, Windows gives me a "Can't connect to this network" message. Normally this wouldn't be a huge issue, as the 5ghz band is generally faster anyway, but even that has been spotty. When it works, it usually works fine for a few hours, then disconnects for around ten seconds on average. This isn't much, but it's enough to disconnect me from online games or interrupt video streaming, for instance. However, it has sometimes been struggling to connect at all. All this has only been happening on one desktop, and all other devices have been functioning normally. I believe it started after I updated several drivers, one of which stopped Windows from booting, but I was ultimately able to circumvent that and prevent the driver update thanks to system restore.
The network adapter is a TP Link Archer T9E, with the most recent drivers from the manufacturer's site.
The router is a TP Link Archer C9
So far, I've tried (in no particular order):
Un/re-installing network adapter drivers
Updating drivers with Driver Booster (which installs Broadcom drivers, but has no impact on the issue)
Turning off power saving for the adapter
Running malware scans
Rebooting/resetting/updating the router
Running the Windows troubleshooter (which detects issues, but doesn't solve them)
Manually connecting to the network
Forgetting the network
Doing a network reset
Disabling antivirus software (Avast) and Windows firewall
Making a WLAN report, which gives a lot of "The specific network is not available" and "The driver disconnected while associating" errors
Booting in safe mode -- this is the one thing that has actually gotten results: the issues are not present at all in safe mode, which leads me to believe it isn't a hardware problem
Performing a clean boot -- which does not solve anything
Probably a few other things that have slipped my mind.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide any more information necessary, or to redo any of the steps above.
