AC1200 PCIe WiFi Card for Desktop PC (Archer T5E) - Bluetooth 5.0, Dual Band Wireless Network Card (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) for Gaming and Streaming, 2 High Gain Antennas, Supports Windows 10/11

Update Jan 25th, 2023 So I've had this card for a few years now and it just keeps working. I continue to be happy with my purchase and did in fact purchase a second for another machine. Adding some comments: -- Am now running Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.1 LTS -- Linux Kernel 6.1.8 -- Continue to get highest wifi speeds my Internet Service & WiFi router deliver -- Bluetooth continues to be flawless Every Linux Kernel upgrade has been flawless and there has been zero issues with compatibility for this card and Ubuntu Linux. Same for Windows 10 with latest updates 2H2022 and Windows 11. Highest wifi speeds and bluetooth connectivity continue to work as expected. Update Nov. 25th, 2021 -- Confirmed works perfectly with Ubuntu Linux 21.04 and 21.10. Card was picked up seamlessly. -- Confirmed works with Linux Kernel 5.15 also. -- Works with Windows 10 21/H2 update perfectly. -- Windows 11 also picked up the card and installed it with no issues. Summary: If you're looking for a WiFi & BlueTooth card that'll work seamlessly out of the box for Linux up through 21.10 and Windows 11, you should consider this WiFi card. I continue to be very satisfied with having purchased my first of two almost two years ago now. It's been rock solid. Update June 30th, 2021 I ordered and installed my second of this card in my Linux Server. Works flawlessly! Works with Linux 21.04 perfectly. It also works with Win10 and the new Win11 Preview Edition. You will not regret buying this card. ** Update June 22nd, 2021 ** This card works on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 with Linux Kernel 5.12.xx flawlessly. If you're a Linux user and are looking for a stable, reliable Wifi card -- this is it. I've been running with it for over a year now and have gone through several Ubuntu Linux version upgrades and numerous Linux Kernel updates all flawlessly. I've experienced zero issues with this Wifi card. If you're a Linux user, rest assured this Wifi card works well. Now my original review of this card: I purchased this card after reading reviews that stated it works with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 as that is the desktop I run. Ubuntu 20.04 w/kernel 5.4.x picked up the card and installed it right away. Did not have to locate a driver online, compile and install manually. It just worked. Just for giggles, I popped in a separate SSD and performed an Ubuntu 20.04 install from scratch to see if the install would recognize it. It did. Saw the card, I selected it, put my WiFi password in and off the install went, downloading updates as well. If you're looking for a blazing fast WiFi card for Ubuntu 20.04 - this is absolutely it. No muss, no fuss, it just works. I also have a Windows 10 boot disk in this computer so I booted Win10 to see if it'd pick up the card automatically - and it did. No surprise there. Conclusion: Solid WiFi card for Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and up to kernel 5.4.3 Same for Windows 10. I may buy another just to have a spare. Update June 3, 2020: I'm noticing some reviewers are reporting that the Bluetooth works for them but the WiFi does not. There's a simple explanation for this: you're installing the card in the wrong slot on your motherboard. The Bluetooth gets its power from a separate connection (USB) on the motherboard, thus the "bluetooth works, wifi doesn't" reviews. Before returning the card as "defective" please make sure you install the card in the proper slot first. If in doubt, it should be the slot closest to the processor (on many motherboards.) Hopefully this helps those who purchase the card and don't know the difference between the "short" and "long" slots on their motherboards. Update Nov. 6th, 2020: Had this card a few weeks shy of 6 months. So far, working flawlessly. I've updated my Linux Kernel to Ubuntu 5.8 and am having zero issues with this WiFi card. I'm purchasing another to go into a legacy AMD FX-8350 build so I can connect it wirelessly with Linux also. I've also updated my WiFi router to a TP-Link WiFi6 model and the wireless speeds I'm getting back to my router are blazing fast. Fully taking advantage of the 300mb Comcast internet connection I have. Very happy with this adapter.

Easy to install, works as advertised, a pretty solid option if you need it!

I bought this to help alleviate a situation where my router had to be in the room below my office and I couldn't run cable through the floor to hardwire my computer in. My old card was some off-brand piece of junk that was serviceable before I moved into my new house. When I moved in it just could not stay connected to the 5ghz network because of the floor between my PC and the router, and for some reason it wouldn't allow me to connect to the 2.4ghz network at all. Since getting this new card I haven't had any issues connect to either the 5ghz or the 2.4ghz networks in my house. It was easy to install, as most network cards would be, and the antenna are massive! At least 3 times larger than my other card. Pair this with a good router and you can probably get a decent signal across the street! Well worth the money!

Solid WiFi Upgrade with Minor Bluetooth Quirks I installed the TP-Link AC1200 PCIe WiFi Card (Archer T5E) in a mid-range desktop that didn’t come with built-in wireless, and overall it’s been a very good experience. The installation itself was straightforward—the card fit snugly into the PCIe slot, and the included antennas have plenty of flexibility for positioning. Signal strength is excellent, even in a room where my phone sometimes struggles to hold a connection. Speeds are consistent on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and it easily handles streaming and gaming without noticeable lag. Bluetooth 5.0 is a welcome addition, especially for connecting wireless headphones and a game controller. That said, it doesn’t always wake up smoothly after the PC comes out of sleep mode, and I occasionally have to toggle Bluetooth off and back on to get my devices to reconnect. It’s not a deal-breaker, but worth mentioning. One other small thing: the drivers included on the mini CD are outdated, so it’s better to download the latest from TP-Link’s site before installing. Once updated, the card has been rock-solid. Bottom line: This WiFi card is a strong, reliable upgrade for desktops that need fast wireless and Bluetooth in one package. Just be prepared to do a little driver work and expect the occasional Bluetooth quirk.

I don't write reviews often, especially for things I've bought years back. But out of the blue, felt a sudden appreciation for this particular part of my PC I was pretty skeptical using a Wi-Fi adaptor on a gaming PC back in 2020, when most people typically opt for a wired ethernet connection for a robust connection. But here I am in 2023, amazed by how well and surprisingly robust this adaptor is, for it is still kicking to this day. This Wi-Fi adaptor has yet to fail on me and has successfully delivered fast internet speed for whatever games I played on whatever network I was in no matter how far I am from the router, reasonably (I've moved around a ton). I feel that this is something to praise as most people I know who have tried to use adaptors, had theirs fail on them shortly after. In addition, the bluetooth feature on this adaptor has worked satisfyingly for my Apple Airpods to which I use on the daily. Though, the connection doesn't really reach as far as I'd like, but still isn't too much of an issue

It works very good.

Was as plug and play as you can get. I did have to download drivers to get it to work but it was easy to get set up. Bluetooth and WiFi work great has good range and speed right out of the box. Great option for the money.

With this card i can easily watch a stream and download at the same time without any issue, as well as having a 4k video on in the background. This WiFi card is great and like no other i have ever tried. The Bluetooth on the card works flawlessly and has a amazing signal. I can walk away from my PC to the other end of my house (my house it quiet big by the way) and still get no dropouts or any noticeable latency. The set-up process was very easy and quick, all i had to do was install the Wifi driver and Bluetooth driver online, very easy.

Item and the price is good. The items works fine and the wifi and bluetooth connectivity is good and I recommend to others.

Por su precio y su formato es una de las mejores opciones, para los que tengan las dudas... Es un conector de 1x2 de líneas PCI Express, esos significa que cualquier sloot que tengas de PCI Express te permitirá instalarlo ya que todas las líneas de PCI pueden leer el adaptador, la conexión es 5 GHz y 2.4 GHz si se necesita, fácil de instalar, los drivers los encuentras en línea buscando el modelo que tienes y las antenas tienen buen rango de detección.

Essa placa e wi-fi e bluetooth, boa qualidade de sinal duas bandas 2.4 e 5 GHz, bluetooth 4.2 mas tem bom alcance e conecta super rápido e bem estável. Única coisa chata ter que ligar ela em uma entrada pcie e uma entrada USB interna da placa mãe.

Works great. Drivers installed themselves automatically on Windows 10 (install disc not required). Bluetooth range is good. Wandered outside with my Wonderboom 2 wireless speaker and it worked fine 50 feet away. WiFi range seems fine. Cannot really speak to maximum speed. Was able to max out my 50 MBPs internet connection, which is nowhere near the rated speed of this card. Observations: - antennae are massive compared to the N300 card on my other machine - swapping out to the smaller bracket was a bit difficult; took me a while to find the right tool to loosen the locking nuts on the antenna bolts - that extra little provided wire _must_ be connected to F-USB port on your motherboard for bluetooth to work - there were more pins on my motherboard (6x2) than the adapter (5x2) but you can use the missing pin in the array to figure out how to attach it
