Archer TX55E

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!

I used to have my desktop PC connected to my router with a 30 ft ethernet cable. That was a little cumbersome, and the connection wasn't always great. I recently changed internet providers, so now my router is on a completely different floor of my house, and a long ethernet cable wasn't going to cut it anymore. I bought this adapter to get my PC back on the internet, and I was very pleased with its ease of installation and performance. The speeds are fantastic, and the connection is very stable. Also, I didn't realize when I bought it that it had Bluetooth capabilities, so that was a nice bonus.

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.

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.

I installed this a year and a half ago in a family member's PC, as his new home office did not have a physical network drop. Installation was easy and the WiFi has worked flawlessly since. We tried to set up bluetooth but his PC does not have a F_USB connector, so we could not. I am not deducting a star, as that requirement is spelled out in the description.

It was easy installation and fired right up.

Fast and easy to install, just download the dfiver on tp link website and run it,, after that you needto restart your PC and then open the apps again to add your wifi card

Juntamente com uma rede residencial WIFI-6 foi a combinação perfeita

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.

Installation was easy. The setting up the extender to link with the main router went through without any hiccups. Point to note that I linked extender to a TP-link AX3000 router, same family. Has been working since. Would recommend this as a solution to resolve dead spots in WiFi coverage.

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