TP-LinkWiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi Card for PC with Heat Sink (Archer TX50E), Bluetooth 5.0, 802.11AX Dual Band Wireless Adapter with MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 11, 10 (64bit) Only

After 3 years of using the integrated Wifi5/BT on my Asus mobo I began having issues with Win10 recognizing BT in Device Hardware. That was all it took for me to upgrade to Wifi 6. I already have a Wifi 6 (802.11ax) router.This TP Link PCIE adapter card was easy to install and I am happy with it. I downloaded the drivers from the Intel and there were no issues. I was getting 200-300 down and now I am seeing 400-500 down at 70% signal strenth. That sounds great on paper but really I would be hard pressed to tell the difference in speed in real time use - other than my BT working now.As others have said you will need an available internal usb header for BT to work (Wifi will still work fine). That's normal for these PCIE cards from what I have seen. I didn't want to unplug my front USB ports on my case so I used an NZXT internal usb hub which plugs into the usb header and will give an additional 3 usb headers. It uses a molex connector for power but the newer NZXT one just needs you to plug into a SATA power connection.There are 2 versions of this card. The slightly more expensive one comes with the magnetic base that you can move around. The version I bought has the 2 rabbits ears that screw onto the back of the card. I don't like the look of rabbit ears so instead I screwed in my old antenna with the magnetic base that came with my Asus motherboard. It worked. Signal strength and download speeds are about the same with either setup.

TLDR; If you get a blue screen when installing this. Turn off the existing onboard wifi card either in windows or in the bios and then restart. If you want to get past the bluescreen, take out this network card from the pc, then restart. When in doubt restart.I bought 2 of these devices in order to get wifi 6 speeds. I installed one in a brand new gaming computer and it went super smoothly. Put it into the PCI-e socket and boot up the computer. Then turned off the other onboard wifi and it worked like a charm.Gaming computer specsCPU: 3700x Ryzen 7GPU: RTX 3070Motherboard: b550mOS: Windows 10The second computer did not go smoothly. Turned it on and it immediately blue screen. Same issue as "Michael"stated in "1.0 out of 5 stars Out of the box this card gave my computer the blue screen of death/crashes."Troubleshooting* Updated the BIOS* Updated all of my drivers* Updated windows OSThe FixThe fix is to turn off any existing wifi adapter on the computer before installing the new one. Either disable it in the bios or on windows. I disabled it in the bios, but apparently it should also work by turning the current network adapter off in the windows OS according to this article.https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/blue-screen-wifi-6-adapter-pcie-aorus-master-motherboard.3568112/Note: I also turned off the existing Bluetooth, but I'm unsure if that was necessary. This card provides Bluetooth so it is your call.Second Computer SpecsMotherboard: x570-e with wifiCPU: x3700 Ryzen 7GPU: GTX 980OS: Windows 10I can confirm I'm getting wifi 6 speeds (480Mbs download). If you do a speed test and don't see those speeds. Try restarting and then rerunning the tests.

Okay so I decided to go from hard wired to wifi (which isn’t ideal for gaming) but I’m switching to more of causal games and I love to play on my bigger tv.What I like: it’s very easy to install. The WiFi works by simply plugging into the PCIE slot and the Bluetooth works with 2 plug-ins from the card itself to an extra USB plug from your motherboard. Honestly took 5minutes, and my computer recognized it instantly and everything worked. I use my Xbox controller and mouse and keyboard with the Bluetooth and it works!What I don’t like:My mouse sometimes doesn’t want to reconnect all the time with Bluetooth. It’s in pairing mode but won’t connect. However I think it might just be my mouse since my Xbox controller reconnects all the time.And most importantly, the internet connection didn’t suffer. I have the same speed as if I was hard wired. Most likely because I’m still next to the modem.

I recently purchased the TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi card for my PC and have been using it for several weeks now. The installation process was fairly straightforward and I had no issues getting it up and running. The card supports Windows 10 and 11, which is great for me as I use Windows 10. The heat sink is also a nice addition as it keeps the card running cool even during extended use.I have noticed a noticeable improvement in my internet speeds and the card provides stable and fast connections, making it ideal for online gaming and streaming. The Bluetooth 5.0 support is also a nice bonus, allowing me to connect to my Bluetooth devices easily.However, the card only supports 64-bit versions of Windows, which might be an issue for some users.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase of the TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi card. It provides fast and stable connections and is easy to install. The compatibility issues with non-64-bit versions of Windows bring down the overall rating to 4 stars.
