So, I bought the TX50E AX3000. 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.

Very happy with the performance. Easy to install and comes with the BT connector to connect into the USB pin in you MB. Ver fast and good speeds specify over the 5Ghz

Nice Networking Card, however it lacks instability - there is no hole for screws (it might damage your motherboard if you don't handle your pc with extra care)

Was struggling with wifi connection in my pc using a small dongle so got this one. 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.

Had to buy a new PCIe Bluetooth/wifi card as old one failed. This one hasn't faulted since buying. Great connection, installation was easy. Haven't had an issue since.

The wifi is great and it has some of the best wifi connectivity speeds, also it has rarely dropped due to the wifi card. But the Bluetooth connectivity is gone after about 4 months of use. The Bluetooth stopped working, so I tried new drivers, a new wire, and a whole other PC to rule everything out, with no luck. (Yes, I tried the troubleshooter and the website, too, to see if there was a solution, but there was none.) It's easy to install, but it is recommended to install it first to make it easier. As for the size and quality, they are as you would expect: solid and compact. Wifi is 10/10 Bluetooth is 10/10 when working, but it's a 3/10

Doesn't take up a lot of space. Looks nice. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work well. Fair price. Windows 11 didn't automatically find and install any basic drivers for me to get up and running so if you're already connected to the internet I recommend first downloading the correct drivers for the adapter from the TP-Link website (just search TXE72E Drivers) BEFORE you install the adapter. Got it up and running with no problems, getting a solid connection to a TP-Link AX55 (AX1500) router which is approx. 8-10 meters away, RSSI 44 at 2.4Ghz and 52 at 5Ghz on the routers default settings, full Down/Up speeds and 12-15 ping.

A beast network card from a reputable network brand! This was needed to upgrade my slow motherboard LAN, which caps out at only 980 Mbps, and my modem has a 2 Gbps plan where a faster card can make use of my bandwidth. The installation was very easy as it just plugs into the smaller PCIEX1_1 slot with no problems. As soon as you boot into Windows 11, the drivers will automatically get installed, so the internet will work a few minutes after reboot. It’s plug and play! It works so well, and I’m getting very fast 2 Gbps speeds. Faster downloads hooray!

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.

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.
