TP-Link Archer TX20E AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 PCIe Adapter

The TP-Link Archer TX20E delivers Wi-Fi 6 performance to desktop computers through a PCI Express interface. This dual-band adapter achieves speeds up to 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, providing combined throughput of 1.8 Gbps for bandwidth-intensive tasks including gaming, streaming, and large file transfers.

Wi-Fi 6 Technology with Realtek Chipset

Built on a Realtek Wi-Fi 6 chipset, the Archer TX20E supports IEEE 802.11ax standards alongside backward compatibility with 802.11ac/n/a/g/b protocols. The adapter utilizes OFDMA and 1024-QAM modulation to increase network efficiency and reduce latency compared to previous wireless standards. This makes it suitable for environments with multiple connected devices competing for bandwidth.

Dual-Band Connectivity

The adapter operates simultaneously on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Use the 2.4 GHz band for standard browsing and email, while reserving the 5 GHz band for 4K streaming, online gaming, and video conferencing. The dual high-gain antennas with magnetic base allow flexible positioning for optimal signal reception.

Bluetooth 5.2 Integration

Integrated Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity enables pairing with wireless peripherals including headphones, keyboards, mice, and game controllers. The included Bluetooth header cable connects to compatible motherboards for full functionality.

Security and Compatibility

The Archer TX20E supports WPA3 encryption alongside WPA2, WPA, and 802.1x authentication protocols. A low-profile bracket is included for compatibility with compact PC cases. The adapter requires Windows 11 or Windows 10 (64-bit) operating systems.

Installation and Setup

Installation requires an available PCI Express slot on your motherboard. The package includes two high-gain dual-band antennas, low-profile bracket, Bluetooth header cable, quick installation guide, and resource CD with drivers.
