TP-Link Archer TBE552E BE9300 WiFi 7 PCIe Wi-Fi adapter

SKU CH-FF52-KJW5P

Tri-band WiFi 7 PCIe adapter with Bluetooth 5.4 reaches 5764 Mbps on 6 GHz and includes high-gain antennas for extended range

  • Tri-band speeds up to 5764 Mbps on 6 GHz for fast throughput
  • Multi-Link Operation combines bands for lower latency and better reliability
  • Bluetooth 5.4 connects peripherals with improved security and power efficiency
  • Two high-gain antennas extend Wi-Fi range for stable desktop connections
  • WPA3 encryption protects personal data on the wireless network

Desktop Wi-Fi 7 upgrade

The Archer TBE552E adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 to a desktop PC through a PCIe slot. It targets builders who want tri-band wireless without replacing the motherboard. The card delivers up to 5764 Mbps on 6 GHz, 2882 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz when paired with a Wi-Fi 7 router. Windows 10 and earlier are not supported.

PCIe slot and antenna clearance

Installation requires a free PCIe slot and space for the two high-gain antennas that screw onto the bracket. A low-profile bracket is included for compact cases. A micro USB port on the card connects to the supplied Bluetooth header cable for internal Bluetooth 5.4 functionality. The adapter works with AMD and Intel motherboards that provide a standard PCIe interface.

Tri-band headroom and limits

The 6 GHz band uses 320 MHz channels for maximum throughput, while the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands handle legacy devices. Multi-Link Operation combines bands for lower latency when the router supports it. Buyers who need Windows 10 compatibility or a USB form factor cannot use this card. The 2.4 GHz ceiling of 688 Mbps may bottleneck older smart-home gear.
