PCIe adapter TP-Link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.0

Archer TX3000E is a PCIe adapter that brings Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.0 to desktop PCs, enabling dual‑band wireless connectivity (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) with a maximum data rate of 2402 Mbit/s. Designed for gaming and high‑performance tasks, the adapter includes two magnetized, multi‑directional antennas and a dedicated heatsink to improve signal reception and thermal stability. The card connects via a PCI Express slot and is finished in red and black with gold‑plated contacts for durability.

Advantages

The AX3000 Wi‑Fi 6 standard delivers higher throughput and lower latency compared with previous generations, while 1024‑QAM and 160 MHz channel support further increase peak speeds. OFDMA and MU‑MIMO technologies improve network efficiency and allow multiple devices to communicate simultaneously with reduced lag. Built‑in Bluetooth 5.0 provides faster and wider wireless peripheral connections. Hardware features such as a heatsink and gold‑plated contacts enhance stability and longevity under sustained load.
