Works perfectly as intended, have had this exact model for a good 2 years and have had no issues, bought 2 more for other machines due to it being affordable and works good.

É uma placa de rede gigabit. O Wi Fi e Bluetooth pegam muito bem também.

Muy buen producto, el precio es más alto en comparación con otras alternativas pero sin duda vale la pena lo pedí principalmente por el bluethoo y me ha funcionado bastante bien, antes utilizaba de los bluethoo pequeños o dongles, pero tenía mucho problemas con ellos ya que mis dispositivos bluethoo se desconectaban cada rato en especial los de sonido y con esta tarjeta he quedado bastante satisfecho la he utilizado bastante tiempo y nunca me ha dado problemas de desconexiones con mis dispositivos el Wifi lo he utilizado para jugar en línea y aunque no lo recomiendo por que hay veces que se nota el retraso sin duda igual te servirá para lo básico.Un excelente producto fácil de instalar y sus drivers los puedes encontrar sin problema en la página oficial.

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.

It doesn't work out of box, need to do some research and get another driver before it can connect to my router. Once connected it work very well and the WiFi speed is remarkable.

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.

I bought the TP Link Archer TX50E to replace my old dying Gigabyte WiFi/Bluetooth card. I'm going to go over some misconceptions first.This is a 2-in-1 card meaning it is CAPABLE of both WiFi and Bluetooth. The PCI-E portion of the card is for Wifi. It's known that if you buy a 2-in-1 card, you should be expecting to use a USB 2.0 motherboard header to use the Bluetooth portion of the card. If you don't have enough 2.0 headers, look into buying a USB 2.0 Header expansion hub.Secondly, this runs on the Intel AX200 wireless chipset which is WiFi 6 (802.11ax) capable. So when the description says AX3000, it's referring to the combined POTENTIAL MAXIMUM DOWNLOAD speeds of the 2.4 GHz (2402 Mbps) and 5.0 GHz bands (574 Mbps). So if you need drivers for this card, you can grab them directly from Intel's website.Third, if your router is not capable of WiFi 6 speeds, you will not reach WiFi 6 speeds. Check your model number to see what you're getting. The same thing applies to MU-MIMO and WPA3 Encryption. If your router does not support those two, your card will not use them. It will instead default to S-MIMO, WPA2 (or whatever is available) and WiFi 5 (or whatever your router is capable of).Now that I've cleared some misconceptions let's move to the features then pros and cons.Features:- WiFi 6 (802.11ax) capable card / Intel AX200 chipset- Bluetooth 5.0 (USB 2.0 cable included)- WiFi (PCI-E interface) and Bluetooth (USB 2.0 Header) [2-in-1 card]- MU-MIMO (multiple user- multiple input mutiple output) capable, in pigs latin it should give lower latency- 2x2 Antenna- WPA3 Encryption- Low profile bracket includedPros:- WiFi 6 and Bluetooth in 1 card- reliable latency- MU-MIMO- WPA3Cons:- Large Antennas (I'll explain why below)The ability to have both WiFi and Bluetooth in one card without having to sacrifice a USB port (not USB header) is great since I can use a PCI-E slot. I've had reliable speeds and latency (ignoring ISP interruptions). The card is barely noticeable inside my build since it's relatively small and sits under my GPU.Although, because the card sits under my GPU the antennas do stick up bumping into my GPU cables. I have to move the antennas slightly to the sides as a result. The positioning of the antennas don't affect performance but aesthetically it sucks.The TP Link Archer TX50E is a good WiFi and Bluetooth card if you're looking for a 2-in-1.

This is a neat PCie card with integrated bluetooth.I needed a heat sink on the card, as my old PCIe wifi card had expired from heat exhaustion - it is located on the PCiex_1 slot above my Nvidia 1070 Ti graphics card on PCIex_16 slotThe Wifi function worked first time good, but the bluetooth function took 2 attempts, including deleting and re-installing the driver before it worked. All fine now.I felt that the supplied bluetooth USB cable is rather short in length, as my Gigabyte F_USB is found on the bottom of the Mother board - so I suggest checking you have a spare USB pin block and it is reachable, before buying.
