I've installed side by side win10/win11 on the same pc.
On the same hardware the wifi connection it's ok on windows 10
but it's VERY POOR on windows 11

Speed link win 10 780/780 (Mbps) ok
Speed link win 11 144/144 (Mbps) oh NO NOOO !

Hardware is : TP-Link Archer T3U Plus https://www.amazon.it/TP-Link-Archer-T3U-Plus-Adattatore/dp/B0859M539M?th=1

I've uninstalled/reinstalldd/checked for drivers in the net to no avail.

Any hint will be *very* appeciated !!!!
THKS !

RTL8812BU

There could be a driver problem. Device Manager : Advanced : Preferred band (5 GHz) ?
Nothing on this stuff is that simple.

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/217836

The actual device has a more spartan interface.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Network/comments/1jnm6na/i_recently_bought_a_tplink_archer_t3u_plus_ac1300/

"That should be on your router settings. Select 802.11ac from the
protocol drop-down and on your router configure only your 5Ghz network.
"

There aren't really a lot of useful adjustments. Most of it is taken
out of your hands. However, the router end has some control over
how the adapters will behave. By setting the router for 5GHz (or using
the SSID which is only for the 5GHz band), you may also be able to
convince the Windows 11 (poor) driver to work. The router may also
have a channel setting such as ch36 or ch40, and a bandwidth, like 20/40
or 40/80. The way the spectrum is being used near you, might interact
with your setting.

These are the settings and some explanations of what they may affect.
Mostly these are useless, except to jam them into the "least responsive"
mode :-)

Property:

AdaptivityPara
Enable Adaptivity
HLDiff ForAdaptivity
L2HForAdaptivity
LdpcCap
QoS Support
StbcCap
VHT 2.4G
Wireless Mode

Examples of values (need a user manual for more detail)

AdaptivityPara : 0
Enable Adaptivity : Disable
HLDiffForAdaptivity : 7
L2HForAdaptivity : F5
LdpcCap : VHT LDPC TX|RX & HT LDPC TX|RX
QoS Support : Not Support QoS <=== only for good working hardware maybe
Roaming Aggressiveness : 4. Medium
StbcCap : VHT STBC TX|RX & HT STBC TX|RX
VHT 2.4G : Disable \__ 5GHZ only?
Wireless Mode : IEEE 802.11ac /

*******

What is HT and VHT?
HT/VHT. High Throughput (HT) mode is offered in the 802.11n standard,
while Very High Throughput(VHT) mode is offered in the 802.11ac standard. 802.11ac is only available on the 5GHz band. If you have an 802.11ac
capable access point, we recommend using VHT40 or VHT80 mode, as it can
allow for better performance.

*******

STBC Space-time block coding.
Set to 0 if no spatial streams of any user has STBC.
Set to 1 if all spatial streams of all users have STBC.

*******

Modulation and Coding:

Schemes like BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM (HT), or 256-QAM (VHT) to encode data.
Higher-order modulation (e.g., 256-QAM in VHT 2.4G IoT) requires high SNR,
supported by beamforming and transmit power.
LDPC codes enhance error correction, particularly for high-order modulation.
^^^^

*******

Typical Values

EnableAdaptivity typically offers the following options:

Enable: Activates the adaptivity mechanism, allowing dynamic adjustments to modulation,
channel selection, or transmit power based on interference. Recommended for
environments with variable interference (e.g., urban areas with Bluetooth devices).

Disable: Turns off adaptivity, forcing the adapter to use fixed settings (e.g., no dynamic
channel switching or modulation changes). May improve stability in high-interference
environments but reduces responsiveness to changing conditions.

Auto (common default): Allows the driver to decide when to enable or disable adaptivity
based on real-time conditions, balancing stability and performance.

Other Values: Some drivers (e.g., Realtek RTL8812AU) may offer numerical values
(e.g., 0 for Disable, 1 for Enable, 2 for Auto), though these are less common.

Related Settings:

AdaptivityPara: Sets the overall adaptivity policy (e.g., 0 for neutral, 7 or F5 for aggressive adjustments).

HLDiffForAdaptivity: Controls the threshold for switching to lower-performance modes
(e.g., 7 or 9 for interference sensitivity).

L2HForAdaptivity: Sets the threshold for transitioning to higher-performance modes
(e.g., F5, F3, EF for responsiveness).

When enabled this feature will try to change the channel frequency if it detects noise
in the currently-used WiFi channel. Disable it, if you are relatively closer
to the router OR if there are not many WiFi networks around.

Changing the WiFi channel is done by the WiFi router. So the WiFi adapter can only ask the
WiFi router to change the channel frequency. If WiFi Router supports such a feature then
it may change the channel.

*********************************

The TPLink driver, is just an instance of the Realtek driver.

RealTek may make finding the latest driver more difficult,
and in any case, the "NDIS standard" for a given Windows OS
can change, removing useful settings from Device Manager for
making adjustments.

The short answer.
Win 10 is using 5GHz WiFi whereas Win 11 is using the 2.4GHz band which
cannot achieve the speed you require.
In Win 11 look at the TP-Link adapter properties in Device Manager and
set the option to use only the 5GHz band.

That's what jumped out at me, as well.

Thanks to you ALL
Setting wi-fi to 802.11ac solved the problem
wow, wow and WOW !

You probably meant - setting Win11 to use the 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz spectrum solved the problem.

i.e. per your earlier spec posting, both were already using the
802.11ac protocol while only Win10 was using the 5 Ghz spectrum.
