TP-LinkWiFi 7 BE9300 PCIe WiFi Card Archer TBE552E| Tri-Band Network Card for Desktop PC| Bluetooth 5.4 | High-Gain Antenna | MLO, WPA3| Supports AMD/Intel Motherboard| Not Compatible w/Windows 10

I decided to declutter my office space, especially my desk, and get rid of some cables. My Dell Workstation did not have WIFI or Bluetooth, so this card was essential. Pricing was perfect and more trustworthy than buying a pre-owned on eBay. The setup was straightforward, instructions were clear and easy to follow. The installation media is included in the package, but I elected to download it from TP-Link. Within a few minutes, I had wireless connectivity. Based on my monitoring during usage, I'm getting constant, reliable speeds. During gaming, connect with a stable staying with 20-50ms, providing a decent gaming experience. One con to this card requires connecting to a USB header in my desktop. I have plenty of headers and IO, so this was not an issue for me, but boards with very few headers need to keep that in mind before purchasing. For home use, WIFI 6 is the most you'll need, and this card is affordable and easy to install. I highly recommend an upgrade.

This thing is freaking awesome compared to a $75 straight WiFi card. Wasn’t to hard to get the correct drivers installed. It worked well with my i7-10700k on a asrock z490 board. Compatible with my Xbox controller. Range is good. I went for getting 50-60mbps to getting 575mbps and only changed the WiFi card. No other wireless device in my house get that speed. Value is good because it beats the $75 ac1300 that was in my computer when I bought it. I just wanted something with both WiFi and Bluetooth.

Recently switched wifi providers for a faster internet connection. I noticed that the motherboard wifi isn't reaching anywhere near the rated speeds I was paying for. So after a little bit of research I decided on purchasing this wifi card. The installation process was pretty easy as long as you make sure to plug in the bluetooth cable in advance! You will also need to have an internet connection to install wifi and bluetooth drivers! My download speeds went from 230 gb/per second to 510 gb/per second! I was really impressed with the performance because of how far I am from my router. (My router is located upstairs and my computer is downstairs, there are also a couple of walls in between me and the router.) When testing near the router I got about 590ish gb/per second which was really close to my ethernet speed! My ethernet speed is 600 gb/per second which is really impressive! I also found myself using the bluetooth for my JBL speaker as well as my xbox controller to play games with no noticeable delay. Very impressed with the performance given its price! I really like having the flexibility of being able to have my computer anywhere in my house with a reliable connection without having to run an ethernet throughout the house.Pros:- Wifi 6 Capable- Bluetooth- Can fit in SFF computer- Can be used to upgrade older systems for a fair priceCons:- Will need internet to install wifi card drivers- Installing the bluetooth cable may be difficult for those who are unfamiliar with computers- Takes up a PCIE-SlotOverall,Very fair price for a reliable wifi/bluetooth card! Adds flexibility to location of system as well as adding value to older systems!

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.

All the Wi-Fi 7 cards on the market have a theoretical peak speed of ~6 gigabytes per second (Gbps), but unless you have an internet connection with a fiber-optic cable (which isn't even available in most US cities), you won't get more than 2 Gbps. Most cable internet providers in 2025 currently deliver less than 1 Gbps. My Comcast connection gives 200-550 Mbps, depending on the time of day, well short of 1 GB. So all this card has to do is do its job without any headaches.This card uses the Mediatek MT7927 chipset, and that's why the drivers take a little while longer to mature than the Intel chipsets and why you have to plug it into a USB port for bluetooth (Intel's offering uses proprietary CNVi instead, but almost nobody has a motherboard wired for that -- only the latest high end Intel ones). The heatsink casing is just for looks; it doesn't generate enough heat to do anything.In my experience, my Gigabyte motherboard came with a WiFi 5 card connected via M.2 connection instead of the PCI-e one this one uses, and I was only getting 10 Mbps. So I first got an M.2 Intel BE200 WiFi 7 card that was half the price of this one, thinking I'd just swap it out, and then when I did I got 40 Mbps. That was way too slow, and it probably has to do with a sub-par antenna or how the M.2 connection was wired.Then I tried this Wi-Fi 7 card and instantly saw 500Mbps, which is as much as Comcast will send me. So all I can say is it worked for me. Of course, you're going to want to download the latest drivers onto your computer before installing the card. You can use the mini CD that came with if you have a player, but that's only a plan B or plan C solution. I've had no problems with the Bluetooth.If you have an Intel chipped motherboard with CNVi capability, go with an an Intel chipped one like Fenvi. But otherwise this one works fine. The provided antenna has good reception, which was the key for me.
