TP-Link AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 PCIe-adapter tri-band 2402 Mbit/s

The TP-Link ARCHER TXE72E is a PCIe Wi‑Fi adapter that brings Wi‑Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 to compatible Windows 10/11 (64‑bit) PCs. It supports tri‑band wireless including the newly opened 6 GHz band, enabling higher throughput, reduced latency and additional spectrum for modern applications such as AR/VR, 8K streaming, gaming and real‑time communications. The card uses an Intel Wi‑Fi 6E chipset, a 2x2 antenna configuration and includes both a standard and a low‑profile bracket for different PC cases.

Advantages

Support for Wi‑Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band for increased bandwidth, faster speeds and lower interference from legacy devices. OFDMA and MU‑MIMO improve multi‑device efficiency, while the Intel chipset reduces latency by up to 75% in real‑time tasks. Two high‑gain antennas extend coverage and Bluetooth 5.2 provides improved wireless peripheral connectivity. WPA3 support enhances wireless security. Easy installation is provided via the included utility and driver disk.

Suitable for

• High‑speed home and small‑office internet access
• Gaming and low‑latency online play
• 8K video streaming and AR/VR applications
• Multi‑device homes where reduced interference is needed

How to use

Turn off your PC and insert the ARCHER TXE72E into an available PCIe slot, selecting the standard or low‑profile bracket as needed for your case. Reboot the system and install drivers and the utility from the included disk or download the latest drivers from TP‑LINK’s support site. After installation, connect to available Wi‑Fi networks and pair Bluetooth devices through Windows settings. Place the antenna(s) to maximize signal reception and avoid large metal obstacles for best performance.

Recommendations

For best results use the adapter with a Wi‑Fi 6E router to access the 6 GHz band, keep router firmware and adapter drivers up to date, and position antennas for line‑of‑sight where possible to reduce latency and improve throughput.
