I'm using the **Archer T2U** as a WLAN adapter on my Debian machine and I cannot connect to my 5GHz home network. I can connect to my 2.4GHz network without any problems.

The 802.11 spec states that the code 12 stands for:
>Association denied due to reason outside the scope of this standard
and [Cisco's website](https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-mobility-documents/802-11-association-status-802-11-deauth-reason-codes/ta-p/3148055) lists this as an example:
> Example : When controller receives assoc from an unknown or disabled SSID
Is my router causing this issue? I assume it's not the driver since this is a fresh Debian installation and I doubt it's a hardware fault in the adapter since it is relatively new.
When using the adapter with a Windows machine it frequently disconnects from the 5GHz network but works flawlessly on the 2.4GHz network.
