TP-LinkArcher TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only

Value for money

Got this for my desktop, can now make full use of Wi-Fi 6! Working very well. My motherboard just doesn't have a port to plug in the Bluetooth connector.

Simple instruction and runs smoothly very happy with my purchase. The speed of my Wi-Fi improved a lot comparing to simple usb Wi-Fi. Highly recommend for people who are not tech savvy.

This product is extremely useful and functional. Item delivered right on time.Kudos!Easy to install and really fast!

Not much to dislike as does the job well. Easy to install, speeds seem okay so far and magnetic base on aerials/antenna lets you place this where you want. Though maybe a longer connection from Card to Antenna base would help but thats a minor point.Cost seems a bit expensive but a lot of what you get is what you cant see as its all in the components.No dropped connections encountered and all seems fine when gaming, surfing and using the computer in general.

Preso per sostituire la penna WI-FI usb. Ovviamente va molto più veloce. Stabile. Nulla da segnalare. Ma non sono esperto e neanche posso raffrontarlo con prodotti simili. Credo stia mantenendo le "promesse" fatte dalle sue caratteristiche tecniche.

Connected to the WIFI but never gained internet access, tried everything, did not work.

I am very pleased with the performance of this AC1300 (Archer T6E). It thrashed the speed of my previous wifi card.There are two vital points to bear in mind before you start:1. Go to TP-Link’s website and download the appropriate driver file. In my case for W10, the driver file was:Archer T6E_V2_200508_Win10.zip.You will need to download this file on another computer if the current one has no internet access. Then copy this file to a USB drive and copy it to the current computer. I recommend creating a folder called “TPL” on the Desktop and putting the file in there. Then right click on the file and click on “Extract All”.2. The second point to bear in mind is that BOTH your antivirus and firewall must be temporarily disconnected otherwise the driver installation will fail!If you use Kaspersky or similar, you need to disable it first and then go to Windows Defender and also disable that. This is because as soon as you disable Kasperky (or Norton or McAfee etc), Windows Defender will automatically replace the main security system.I recommend searching for “TP-Link How to Manually Install Adapters on Windows 10” and follow the instructions.Also search for “Turn off Defender antivirus protection in Windows Security”.I installed the AC1300 and screwed on the 2 antennae and switched on the PC.As per the above instructions, I browsed to:“Archer T6E(EU)_V1&V2_200508_Win10” and clicked on “Update driver software”.I rebooted the PC and then reactivated Kaspersky’s antivirus and firewall.Finally, I entered the wifi code for my network and my internet was restored.*****You may find that, contrary to the generally accepted wisdom of using the 2.4MHz frequency when you have thick walls and floors, that you actually achieve a higher speed using the 5MHz band.Accepted wisdom:“2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects such as walls and floors nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals”.I switched from 2.4MHz to 5MHz and my second (wifi) PC, which is 2 floors below, went from 11Mbps to 46 Mbps, matching the speed of my first PC which is connected via ethernet cable! It’s worth a try...................................................................................................................................................................................................EDITNo 5GHz signal on Linux? Then change a router setting.I recently bought this dual-channel TP-Link AC1300 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Wi-Fi Adapter for a desktop PC that sits two floors below my router.The PC was originally using Windows 10 and the 5GHz signal was much stronger then the 2.4MHz one.I then decided to replace W10 with Linux Mint 21.1 MATE. The Broadcom BCM4360 was recognised by Mint and the appropriate driver installed.So far, so good.I then found that only the much weaker 2.4MHz signal was available.I used the excellent Wifi Analyzer (open-source) app on my mobile phone and this registered nothing for the 5GHz band. In contrast the 2.4GHz showed a strong signal.I tried connecting to a “Hidden network” and creating a new network, all to no avail.Finally after much research, I discovered that the Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) does not see 5GHz networks with a high channel number.See confirmed bug #1574196 at Launchpad.To rectify this, it is necessary to login to the router and change the channel for the 5GHz to a lower one.In my ASUS router I went to Advanced Settings > Wireless > Wireless General > select 5GHz band.Then clicked on Control Channel and reduced the figure from 140 maximum to say 36.Clicked on Apply and logged out.The Wifi Analyzer immediately picked up a very strong signal from the 5GHz.All is now well using Linux.
