WiFi 6E USB Adapter for Desktop PC - (Archer TXE50UH) AXE3000 Tri-Band Wireless Network Adapter, Ultra-Low Latency, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Refined Security, WPA3, Supports Windows 11/10

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fast connection and easy setup! This WiFi adapter works perfectly! Setup was super quick — just plugged it in and it connected right away. The signal is strong and stable, even in the rooms farthest from my router. My internet speed is noticeably faster now, and I haven’t had any drops or lag. Great value for the price and definitely worth it if you need to boost your connection.

Great product, effortless set-up. Versatile 2.4 or 5g, works great. You do need a CD-ROM drive for driver installation, but it takes less than 3 minutes from start to finish.

Bought this to put into my wife's computer that is still running Windows 7 with a 2.4 built in adapter. Took only a few minutes to install the drivers and it works perfectly. Much faster on 5g. File access and transfer is also faster.

Works great, super easy plug and play installation, greatly improved signal strength over my pervious tiny USB WiFi dongle. My only complaint is that it's a bit too thick at the base, blocking my second USB port from use.

I have a very old Windows 10 tablet that still works great but has WiFi connectivity issues because the area I use it tends to be right on the edge of where it can reach my router. Some days it’s ok and some days it’s unusable. I figured the internal antenna is probably small and likely using pretty old technology, and that perhaps attaching a larger newer USB antenna, I would improve my signal. After switching to the USB WiFi adapter it offered very minimal improvement at first. My connection was still very hit and miss. But, the USB adapter offered more channel options than my old internal antenna and I was able to get much better connectivity by switching to 802.11ac in the adpater properties inside the device manager. This probably worked because it's a combination of newer technology and because there are not other nearby devices using this channel. To understand what channels can be used to improve your signal and how to switch them you need to look into 2.4GHz and 5Ghz and the different 802.11 channels (a/b/g/n/ac/x etc) also known as wifi 1, 2, 3, up to 7. What works for you can depend heavily on how your network and other nearby networks are set up and how many devices you have on each channel. The initial setup of the USB adpater was easy. I went to the website and downloaded the driver because I already had access to the internet on my tablet. If you don’t have internet on your device because you don’t have WiFi, the antenna conveniently comes with a CD that has the drivers. The difficulty I had is that even after adding the additional WiFi adapter, my tablet wanted to keep using the old one no matter what. But I learned that if you go to the WiFi symbol on your task bar and go into the WiFi options where you can choose a network to connect to, the very top shows the WiFi adapter you are using and it is actually a drop down menu where you can easily select the other adapter. I never knew this because I never had two WiFi adapters on a computer before. But this is nice because if I want I can easily switch back to the other adapter. I should note that my router is the same brand TP-Link, but I expect the WiFi adapter will work with fine with other routers. However, if you're trying to get maximum range and signal strength you will probably need a router that supports the same 802.11 channels as the USB WiFi adapter. Most new routers probably will but older ones might not.

Works great no issues whatsoever and its good for my 200Mbps wifi! 🔥🔥🔥

I purchased the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus USB WiFi adapter hoping it would solve a specific issue: my older laptop’s onboard WiFi struggles to detect my work network, even though it connects just fine at home and to public networks. Initially, this adapter seemed like the answer—but it quickly became clear I had traded one set of problems for another, much worse one. The Core Issue: Intermittent Disconnections This seems to be a widespread problem among USB WiFi adapters, especially those using Realtek chipsets (which includes this one). The connection will randomly lag, drop, and completely fail to reconnect. The only fix? Yank the adapter out of the USB port and plug it back in, essentially giving it a hard reboot. Sometimes it reconnects; sometimes it doesn’t. In extreme cases, it disconnects again within seconds. This isn’t a one-off fluke—I’ve experienced it consistently, and it matches what countless others have reported. Not Just This Adapter—Likely a Realtek Chipset Problem After some digging, it appears Realtek-based adapters are notorious for poor driver support, unstable performance, and strange power-related issues. Frustratingly, most affordable adapters on the market use Realtek chips, and it’s difficult to find ones that don’t—there's no central list of alternatives, and product pages rarely specify the chipset used. Bigger Problems: USB Port Glitches and System Instability It didn’t stop with network drops. One morning, I booted up my PC and realized multiple USB ports had stopped functioning. Devices like my speakers wouldn’t work when plugged into these “dead” ports—unless they were already connected when the PC powered on. Even weirder, unplugging the TP-Link adapter would instantly bring those ports back to life. Plug the adapter back in, and things might work—until the next reboot. This wasn’t isolated to my machine either. My wife’s PC experienced an even worse issue: the adapter caused power draw problems during Windows boot, leaving the M.2 SSD underpowered and triggering boot failures. Booting from Linux confirmed the adapter was acting strangely, with system utilities flagging it as a misbehaving USB device. Poor Setup Experience and Misleading Instructions Setup was frustrating too. The adapter couldn’t even detect the specific network I bought it for, although it could see every other nearby network. It also created a TP-Link-branded network that demanded a password or security key that’s never mentioned in the instructions. The manual says to use the WPS button on your router, but guess what—Spectrum routers don’t have one. Dead end. No Real Support from TP-Link Trying to get help from TP-Link is an exercise in futility. Their customer service is almost nonexistent, and their online resources are focused mainly on their routers and modems—not adapters. You’re far better off looking up YouTube videos and Reddit threads. Just don’t expect any kind of direct support. Bottom Line: Don’t Waste Your Time or Money This product, and frankly most USB WiFi adapters using Realtek chipsets, are unreliable at best and potentially damaging at worst. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a week or two of decent performance before the headaches begin. In my case, and in my wife’s, these adapters caused serious system-level problems. I’ll be returning both units and requesting a refund through Amazon—which, thankfully, is usually pretty hassle-free. It’s sad, but I’ve come to view these devices as temporary fixes with a built-in expiration date. You might get lucky. Or, more likely, you’ll end up with a defective product that quietly disrupts your entire system. Recommendation: Avoid this adapter and any USB WiFi device using Realtek chipsets. It’s not worth the instability, power issues, or the time spent troubleshooting.

Works as advertised. Essentially plug and play, but I did use the DVD/CD install disc that was provided. Very fast connection and is close to ethernet speeds.
