It looks cool, great antennas and they have a decent length cable on them to get them in the optimal position, it’s wicked fast, no packet loss installation was a breeze and now I’m back up and running online with super fast speeds

I recently installed the TP-Link Archer TX55E in my desktop, and the experience has been outstanding. The installation was straightforward; the adapter fit seamlessly into my PCIe slot, and Windows 11 automatically recognized it without the need for additional drivers.Overall, the Archer TX55E has significantly upgraded my PC's wireless capabilities, offering high-speed internet access and reliable Bluetooth connectivity. I highly recommend this adapter to anyone looking to enhance their desktop's networking performance.

Out of the box, a driver is required. Thankfully, there is a driver that comes on the device (pre-loaded). Unfortunately, it is a "version 1" driver that does NOT support MLO, which significantly limits the throughput (~320mbs) of the adapter. TP-Link released a beta driver in May/25 that supports MLO available on their website. I can confirm this fixes the throughput issue and now I'm getting wifi 7 speeds. In the EU/UK, look for Archer TBE400UH(EU)_V1_MLO_5x02.24.126.2_Win10_Win11[Beta Driver]

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.
