TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 11/10(64bit) Only, Two High-Gain Dual Band Antennas

I purchased the TP-Link TL-WN781ND PCIe card for a compact PC build, and it delivered exactly what I needed. The package includes two PCIe bracket plates, standard and low profile. Since my case required the low-profile bracket, I swapped it out easily using just two screws. The build quality is solid, and the antenna feels sturdy with smooth 360° rotation. It doesn’t look or feel cheap. Although the box includes a driver installation CD, I didn’t need it, Windows 10 automatically detected the device upon boot. No setup hassles at all. I ran a few basic network speed tests and the card held up well with stable signal reception and consistent performance. Overall, it’s a great budget-friendly option for adding wireless connectivity to a desktop. Simple install, good signal, and no driver drama.

Product meets expectations. I would recommend this adapter only for those who have Wi-Fi-6 routers/mesh routers to enjoy the high-speed internet. Easy to install the hardware but quite tricky to install drivers. Product come with Driver disc and its challenging for those who don't have DVD writer, but drivers are available on TP-link official site for quick installation. Impressed with hardware quality to manage heating issues.

First of all I want to say is that the product is AWESOME. Secondly, the delivery was on time (actually it came before the expected delivery date).Go Go Amazon. Now lets come to the question, why I needed this? Well, recently a THUNDERSTORM hit our locality and my Desktop PC was affected by this lightning resulting LAN port malfunctioning in the CPU. My Wifi router malfunctioned too (I gave that to service center later). I called my ISP and they told me that my LAN port was fried and I had to buy a new one.So, I went to local shop and bought a USB-to-LAN adapter for Rs.350. It worked OK at first then I faced problems- my internet speed was limited to 750 Kbps (my ISP provides upto 12 Mbps), the internet connection was not stable, my PC lagged sometimes. So, I googled it and found compatibility issues saying "USB ports are not meant to act as LAN ports". Thus I went to the 'Mecca' of electronic components and parts of Kolkata, Chandni Chowk for PCI LAN card. Interestingly I couldn't find it there (searched for two consecutive days). So, after gathering some infos about my motherboard, PCI and PCI Express, 10/100/1000 Mbps I ordered TP-Link TG-3468 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter on Amazon for Rs.750. It came in a very nice packaging with 3 YEARS WARRANTY on the box. In the box there was this LAN card, Driver installation disk and User manual. I installed the card in my PCI Express slot, switched on the PC and BAAM!! There it is. I DIDN'T even HAVE TO INSTALL THE DRIVER SOFTWARE. My onboard Realtek PCIe GbE driver software was compatible with this device. I connected my ethernet RJ45 cable to it and the internet just works fine now as it was before. Now I get the expected internet speed as specified by my ISP, the network is stable and my Desktop PC is running fine as it is new. I am happy with this product. Now some things you need to know before you buy-- 1. This is a PCI EXPRESS LAN card. So check if your motherboard has PCI EXPRESS slot. It should be written as PCIEX4(in my case) or PCIEX16 (generally graphics card is installed in this slot) or PCIEX8 or PCIEX1 or PCIe. If it is written only PCI then this LAN card is not compatible. 2. It works on any PCI Express slot regardless of its version. 3. Don't panic about the fact that your motherboard's PCIEx slot is longer than the gold connectors in the LAN card (in the picture). The length of the slot doesn't matter. It just fits fine. 4. There are 3 LEDs indicating network speed. 10 Mbps LED, 100 Mbps LED and 1000 Mbps LED. According to your internet connection the LED will blink (100 Mbps LED in my case) 5. Comes with 3 Years Warranty. 6. Consult you Internet Service Provider (ISP) before buying. Hope this review helps everyone.

I purchased this product as I was upgrading my desktop. I still have not switched to a WiFi 6 capable router as the current plan with my ISP would not give a better value return against the hefty investment. With my 300 MB plan, my previous usb adaptor ( Archer T4u) manages to give me a consistent 230-240 MB bandwidth. However, in comparison, I do notice the PCIe card manages to give 250 MB+. So downloads are just a little bit faster and it's future proof for at least next 5 years. Windows setup on this is a breeze. Just go to the product page, download the drivers and you're good to go. One of my concern was that the product page on Amazon as well as tp-link's official website does not list which chipset it uses. It means Linux users would need to figure it out themselves. I called and emailed TP-link India support to know about the chipset model and I still have not heard an answer in over 3 weeks. Finally I reached out to TP-link US support and they responded within 24 hours. The chipset is AX200NGW. Furthermore, this device is listed EOL on TP-link US, but not on TP-link India. TP-link India support proves their incompetence and ignorance yet again!! Now, if your kernel detects this OOB, that's great. But I can confirm that Arch, ubuntu 22.04 LTS and openSUSE 15.4 did not detect this card out of the box for me, so only Bluetooth worked, but not wifi OOB. I'm going to save fellow Linux users some frustration and give the kernel module needed for this device: rtw89_8852be. If you can manage a line of sight with your wireless router, the signal is great. For me, there's half a wall in between and about 25 feet distance, so I get about 70% signal strength. But like I said, I find no issues with it. Happy with the product, but crappy support from TP-link India.

Best Product 😍😍

Economical, got it during the sale with CC offer for below 800, Works well with Debian 12 and 13, but do note that it requires the non-free firmware package, suitable for basic wireless connection limited to speeds below 100mbps, it cannot go double digits(I have seen max 60Mbps).

Works as described, plug and play. Immediately recognized by Windows 11 and working at full speed (1 Gbit/s).

I have gone through 3 (this is my fourth wifi adapter purchase in about a year) wifi adapters for my PC that I upgraded to windows 10. The three other ones all supposedly supported win10 or there were drivers for windows 10 that were really for windows 8. All three of the previous ones I spent many times getting different drivers trying to get the adapters to work. All of them suffered from similiar problems...the internet just cuts off for no apparent reason or the wifi adapter disconnects for some reason. I was skeptical because after 3 adapters you get that way. Also, the other three adapters were all usb and I have not eliminated that the adapter was not to blame but instead the usb ports and bad drivers. That is a big possibility however I have bluetooth usb, xbox controllers, usb storage, all work fine and without a problem. I have even hooked up 3tb internal hdd with a usb kit and transfered about 2tb worth of steam games over usb and (while taking many hours) never had a hitch. So I don't know. This one is a PCIe card and after 3 adapters, this one works great. With my other adapters, if I wanted to install a 10gb game from steam it would start out at ok speeds but would randomly cut off for no reason. I once started a download of Diablo 3, left to go to the store (5 mins away) and came back and it only downloaded about 600mb. This card downloaded GTAV at max speed without ever disconnecting or stopping. Steam gave me a time it would download in and I set an alarm for that time (plus 5min) and sure enough the game had started when I came back to check on it. So far I love this card. Speed is great. I can stream HD video and download and still get top speeds from steam.

I know Bluetooth and Wifi dongles exist, but there is a freedom and joy in having both of them on the same device and not saturating the ever-living hell out of your USB ports. I was a little sceptical at first, but I love it. Wifi strength is really good, and the Bluetooth functionality is great.

Perfect. Easy to install. Make sure to download the right drivers from the TP-Link website. The drivers only follow in the box on a cd.

Gelir gelmez hemen masaüstü bilgisayarıma taktım. Ana modemdeki kablolu bağlantı hızı 68Mbps civarında. Evin içindeki wi-fi ağı için ana modemle arada TP-Link RE305 güçlendirici mevcut. TP-Link Archer T4E adaptörü bu güçlendiriciye 5GHz bağlantıda bağladım ve 45-50Mbps hız aldım. Bu benim içim mükemmel bir sonuç. Daha önceki ağ hızım 20-25Mbps civarında idi. Şu anda hız 2 katına çıkmış durumda. Umarım uzun süreli bağlantıda da verimini düşürmez. Not: 2.4GHz bağlantıda hız 20-25Mbps civarına düşüyor.
