I have the following setup:

• 1x TP-Link Archer C7 (with to Accesspoints "AC24" on 2.4 GHz and "AC5" on 5 GHz)
• 1x Notebook with 2 Wifi-Adapters (TP-Link Stick connected to "AC5" and Intel N 7260 connected to "AC24")

If I'm connected with both network cards, as described above, Windows only uses one connection. How to combine them? I tried to create a network bridge over the 2 network cards, but then I loose internet connection.

(Connection works only if one of both cards in the bridge is connected. As soon as the second card connects, the bridge looses. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after some seconds.)

You can't and is because al IEEE 802.11 variants work in 1 and 2 Layer so that means if you router works with 2,4 and 5 Ghz modes they are always in same broadcast domain, in simple words they are like 2 plugged in same switch trying to compare with wired ones topologies.

Some solutions you should try:

Channel Bonding
