Windows 10: Wifi USB dongle capped at 140 or 70

I have a Wifi USB dongle TP-LINK AC1300 Archer T3U which gives me on 5 Ghz 867 Mbps and on 2.4 400 Mbps. My router exposes both 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz. I was away for 4 weeks and when I returned home, Windows 11 wanted to update so I did but then suddenly the Wifi dongle wasn't able to find the 5 Ghz one, only the 2.4 Ghz showed up. Also it lowered its speed to either 140 or even 70 Mbps. I didn't touch anything because as said: I was away. The drivers are up to date of the Wifi dongle latest being in 2019

Is there a pci card with both Wifi and Usb?

I already have a wifi dongle and it is kind of annoying, I'm looking into buying a pci usb card and would love to have both usb and wifi on the same card as it is a mini itx build and is meant to be portable.

Have you considered a pci usb card and a wifi dongle?
