Archer TX55E

This was very easy to install, was recognized by the PC and any necessary drivers were automatically installed. It has provided solid connection with the antenna easy to position with a magnetic platform so you can place it anywhere on your case so it's not in the way. It provides Bluetooth 5.2, WPA3 along with many other standard interfaces. I really liked the fact that it is quite compact and didn't interfere with my other boards. It's very reasonably priced and delivers awesome speeds. While I see some reviews indicating connection issues, I have had none. I run this on a machine with Windows 11 and Linux and it works fine for both.

Here’s a clean, medium-length review that fits what you’re going for: ⸻ The TP-Link WiFi 6 PCIe WiFi Card for Desktop PCs has been great — honestly hasn’t let me down at all. Installation was simple, drivers picked up instantly, and the connection has been rock-solid ever since. Speeds are fast, stable, and consistent, even with multiple devices on the network. Signal strength is strong too; no random drops, no lag spikes, and no struggling to stay connected like cheaper cards tend to do. For everyday use, gaming, downloads, streaming and it runs quiet — it just works the way you expect it to. Overall, a reliable and worry-free upgrade. I’m really happy with it.

Since 2020 the pandemic, I've been using the Belkin wireless adapter for a wifi internet connection on my PC. 5 years I was struggling with streaming media and running tasks on my computer, that depended on a speedy internet connection. I was considering getting a cat 6 ethernet cable to run to my router to resolve the problem, though I didn't want to do all that work. I bought this card, thankfully able to install it to my computer motherboard, installed both antennas, and the drivers for wifi and bluetooth, and my whole experience changed! I have no problems so far. Speeds have dramatic changed, never thought this was possible for me! I give it a solid 5 stars, and will install it for my next high end gaming PC build! Definitely recommend if you want to save yourself the ethernet cable routing! the old speed test was conducted with the Belkin adapter, it CONSTANTLY lost internet connection, but the wifi card stays connected, and runs wifi 6 (with the new screenshot speed test showing 270 mbps) This thing is the TRUTH folks!!!! its worth the 30 bucks!

Easy to install. Had to look for "Archer TX55E" driver, not AX3000. Once driver is located and installed, it is working as expected. It is giving my 14 year old desktop couple of new tricks (wireless LAN + Bluetooth connectivity). Connecting to my home Wifi network was easy and even connected to my old Jabra Link wiressless speaker/mic. Who know going wireless from wired will boost throughput... (Yes my desktop is very OLD) Let's hope this device lasts 3-5 years :)

Wifi and bluetooth both work very well, especially for only $30. Note that the bluetooth functionality requires you to to connect the card to a USB header on your motherboard (it includes a cord to do this), the Bluetooth WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU DO THIS (if you only care about the wifi you can just plug it into the pcie slot). The driver installation was very frustrating, which is why I took a star off. The drivers are included on a CD, but who uses a cd reader in 2025. You can just download the drivers off of the tp link website (if you look up tx55 drivers on google you can find them), but the file sometimes won’t unzip in windows, so you might have to unzip to google drive them using a third-party website. It took me a few hours to get the drivers figured out but once I did the card works smoothly. Installation is super finicky and a bit frustrating, but especially for $30 this is a very effective, high-speed wifi and Bluetooth card.

Installation of the drivers were pretty easy. If your PC doesn't have a CD player, you can download the driver's installer by the official TP-Link website. The card works pretty well by now, no problems, at least Bluetooth (I am not using it for Wi-Fi). No latency. Sound quality is perfect with my airbuds. The box includes a special adapter if your PC case hole for PCIe accessories is small.

For about $25, this gave my desktop the connectivity it deserves. I built this computer 10 years ago with the best components the Z97 MB, LGA 1150 socket could accept, minus the graphics card, you could spend as much on a single GPU as the whole computer. The i7 4790K with 32GB RAM, yada yada. But it didn't have Bluetooth or WiFi. I had the router connected via Ethernet. So I moved the router to the living room so the kids could play Xbox and I decided to finally get a WiFi card. This card is excellent! It mounts in a PCIE slot and secures to the case with a single screw to the back plate. Simple. Plug the USB header cord in to an empty spot on the MB and the small end goes to the AX3000 to give you your BT connection. Put your side back on your case, screw your antennae on to your card and flip them up 90⁰ to the card, parallel to each other. Put the driver disk in and select autorun.exe if it doesn't (AUTO RUN) and install wifi completely first. THEN install Bluetooth next. Don't do them at the same time. Once the drivers are done. You should see your wifi networks and anything Bluetooth you're trying to pair. I ran OOKLA speed test and I get full download and upload speeds for the service I have and I'm happy with it.

While it works perfectly fine on Windows 10, I want to focus more on Linux in this review. I'm sure there's some people out there who switched to Linux after Microsoft decided it was somehow a good idea to end updates for Windows 10. After testing it on a few different Debian-based distros, like Linux Mint and Ubuntu, I can confirm that it works perfectly well with them. Installation into my desktop was easy, and only took a couple of minutes. In my case, I did need to insert the included disk into my PC to download the drivers since it didn't work out of the box (you can also download them from their website). Once that was done, the WiFi works perfectly, and I had a strong connection to the 5 GHz signal that's on the floor above me. Unfortunately, my motherboard didn't have the connection needed to use Bluetooth, so I can't say whether or not that works well. Overall, this is a fantastic wireless card for the price. It works with both Windows (10 & 11) and Linux, which is perfect for those who are interested in setting up dual booting for your PC. Before purchasing, make sure your motherboard has the USB connector needed for Bluetooth operation since it won't work without it.

The product works really well, but it didn’t include a screw to secure the card to the PC.

Works well

I highly recommend getting a proper wifi card like this instead of a USB adapter. My connection used to be extremely weak or the USB slot would drop the connection for a few seconds, and if you are playing an online game everything will freeze/crash. After installing this, which was very easy to do, and downloading the drivers online, I have extremely good and stable connection. No issues and very fast speed. Price is extremely reasonable as a USB is not much cheaper sometimes.

Yaklaşık 8-10 senelik masaüstü bilgisayarımı, WİFİ 6E ye upgrade ettim. Hızı inanılmaz oldu.
