One surprise I had was the fact Bluetooth connectivity is accomplished via a cable between the TX50E PCI card and a spare USB header on the motherboard! I had assumed all communication would take place directly via the PCI slot. Make sure you have a spare header if Bluetooth connectivity is important to you - I only had one spare. (Do not confuse an internal USB header with an external USB socket either - they're not the same!). So I installed it, powered on, and it wasn't recognised automatically by Windows. I installed the WiFi drivers first (directly from the website mentioned in the small print of the instructions) because I don't have a CD-ROM drive, so couldn't use their included CD. As soon as the WiFi driver was installed I was able to easily connect to my home WiFi. I then repeated the same process for the Bluetooth drivers and then Windows recognised it had Bluetooth capability - so far, so good. So everything was working perfectly and I was very happy. I had a nosy around in the settings. Then a few hours later, I couldn't get WiFi to connect. It would just timeout when verifying the connection, every time. I scratched my head for around half hour. I had another nosy in the settings and saw that I had checked "Use random hardware addresses" when logging on to WiFi networks. This is an option in the Windows WiFi settings, and I thought it sounded like a good idea. Turns out that, for some unknown reason, this isn't compatible with my system or the TalkTalk router we have here. The moment I switched that setting off, my connection issue resolved. The router isn't configured to limit connections to certain MAC addresses, so a connection from a randomised address *should* work. It's weird that it doesn't. So take that as a heads up: if you turn that feature on, and experience connection issues on new connections, turn it back off again! :) Overall I'm really happy with the purchase in terms of reliability (no connection dropouts), ping time, download speeds etc. ## Features - Unrivalled Wi-Fi 6 Speed—Breaks the gigabit barrier with speed up to 2402 Mbps (5 GHz) + 574 Mbps (2.4 GHz), and 3x faster than Wi-Fi 5. - Smoother Experience—MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology lower 75% latency, ensuring ultra-responsive gaming, uninterrupted video chatting and seamless live streaming. - Reliable Connections—Intel Wi-Fi 6 chipset brings faster and clearer Wi-Fi to guarantee fully usage of your Wi-Fi 6 router. - Wider Wi-Fi Coverage— Two 5 dBi high gain antennas ensure greater coverage and enhanced communication capability, the distance with router is no longer a problem. - Bluetooth 5.2—The latest Bluetooth technology achieves 2× Faster Speed and 4× Broader Coverage than Bluetooth 4.2 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08759X3F8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,439 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 10 in Network Cards | | Box Contents | Archer TX50E | | Brand | TP-Link | | Brand Name | TP-Link | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 11,992 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Bluetooth | | Data Transfer Rate | 2402 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | Bluetooth | | Hardware Interface | Bluetooth 5 | | Hardware interface | Bluetooth 5 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.5L x 12.1W x 2.2H centimetres | | Item Weight | 250 Grams | | Manufacturer | TP-Link | | Manufacturer Part Number | Archer TX50E | | Model Number | Archer TX50E | | Product dimensions | 9.5L x 12.1W x 2.2H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TP-Link - **Hardware interface:** Bluetooth 5 - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Product dimensions:** 9.5L x 12.1W x 2.2H centimetres - **Data link protocol:** Bluetooth - **Data transfer rate:** 2402 Megabits Per Second - **Item weight:** 250 Grams - **Manufacturer:** TP-Link ## Images ![TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ugobNxFIL.jpg) ![TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bVStsJo8L.jpg) ![TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VoOirGWzL.jpg) ![TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511WFWeI3VL.jpg) ![TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ss+hVdQNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi! are you selling the tx50e v1 or v2? v2 has bluetooth 5.2 and that is what the title says. but pictures from the reviews show bluetooth 5.0 on it.** A: Hi, Thanks for the query, This product has Bluetooth 5.2.

Anybody else have these issues?** A: This device caused problems with my motherboard, it did not work at all. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unmatched Performance for Gaming and Streaming – A Must-Have Upgrade! *by L***E on 21 December 2024* (Archer TXE72E), and it has been a total game-changer!

It works great, obiously not as good or stable as a cable connection, but its almost 10x faster than the dongle inused to have. I can play games again. Its easy to install and comes with a small guide on how to do so. you will need your own tools though. For drivers you either need internet connection or a cd reader. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link Archer TX50E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter for PC with Heat Sink, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10(64bit) Only - Crucial Pro DDR4 RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 3200MHz, Intel XMP 2.0, Computer Memory (PC) - CP2K16G4DFRA32A - Crucial BX500 SATA SSD 1TB, 2.5" Internal SSD, Up to 540MB/s, Laptop and Desktop (PC) Compatible, 3D NAND, Dynamic Write Acceleration, Solid State Drive - CT1000BX500SSD101 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/196892999-tp-link-archer-tx50e-ax3000-wi-fi-6-bluetooth-5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/196892999-tp-link-archer-tx50e-ax3000-wi-fi-6-bluetooth-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
