PCIe Wi-Fi 6E adapter with Bluetooth 5.3

The TP-Link Archer TXE72E adds tri-band wireless and Bluetooth 5.3 to a desktop PC through a PCI Express slot. It supports the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands with a combined data rate of up to 5.4 Gbps. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor builds. Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) are the supported operating systems.

Desktop builders who need the 6 GHz band

This card suits users with a Wi-Fi 6E router who want access to the less-congested 6 GHz spectrum and the lower latency of the latest Intel Wi-Fi 6E chipset. It also provides Bluetooth 5.3 for newer peripherals. Buyers running Windows 10 will not be able to use the 6 GHz band, and anyone without a free PCIe slot should look at USB alternatives.

6 GHz support requires Windows 11

The 6 GHz radio is only enabled on Windows 11 (64-bit); on Windows 10 the adapter operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only. This single operating-system constraint decides whether the full tri-band capability can be used.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot size and bracket height does the Archer TXE72E need?

It plugs into any standard PCI Express x1 or larger slot and ships with a low-profile bracket for slim cases.

Which header cable must be connected for Bluetooth 5.3 to work, and where does it go?

Attach the supplied Bluetooth header cable to the adapter and then to a USB 2.0 front-panel header on the motherboard.

When will the external antennas need replacement, and what type do they use?

The two high-gain tri-band antennas are screw-on; replace them only if damaged, using the same RP-SMA connectors.
