Description

TP-Link Archer TX3000E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 PCIe adapter with Bluetooth 5.0

The TP-Link Archer TX3000E adds dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity to a compatible desktop PC. It is a practical upgrade for PCs that need faster wireless networking without relying on a small USB Wi-Fi adapter.

Its separate magnetised antenna base lets you position the two high-gain antennas away from the back of the computer, while support for 160 MHz Wi-Fi 6 connections allows theoretical wireless rates of up to 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz with suitable network equipment.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable for desktop PCs that need an internal PCIe Wi-Fi upgrade.
• A good match for dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers where higher wireless speeds and lower network congestion are priorities.
• Useful if the same PC also needs Bluetooth connectivity for compatible peripherals.
• This is an internal desktop adapter and is not intended for laptops or devices without a suitable PCIe expansion slot.

Why Choose This Product?

• Fast Wi-Fi 6 connectivity: Supports up to 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz under compatible network conditions.
• 160 MHz channel support: Allows compatible Wi-Fi 6 routers to make use of wider channels for higher theoretical throughput.
• Flexible antenna placement: The two high-gain dual-band antennas mount on a magnetised base with a 1 m RF cable, so they can be positioned away from the rear of the PC for improved reception.
• Bluetooth built in: Bluetooth 5.0 support can add wireless connectivity for compatible controllers, headphones, keyboards and other peripherals.
• Handles busy Wi-Fi networks more efficiently: OFDMA and MU-MIMO are supported when the router and other required network equipment support the corresponding technologies.
• Modern wireless security: WPA3 support is available when connected to a compatible WPA3 access point or router.

Before You Buy

• The Archer TX3000E is designed for installation inside a compatible desktop PC using PCI Express.
• Bluetooth uses the supplied Bluetooth header cable and requires a suitable internal USB connection on the motherboard.
• TP-Link’s South African specifications list Windows 10 64-bit support for this regional product page. TP-Link also provides Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit drivers through its support centre; confirm the installed hardware version before downloading drivers.
• Maximum wireless rates are theoretical. Actual speed depends on the router or access point, wireless environment, interference, distance and network conditions.
• Wi-Fi 6 functions including OFDMA, MU-MIMO and 160 MHz operation require compatible network equipment.
