guys, if you don't have a way to connect your PC to internet and you don't know how to install the drivers, you can use USB tethering by simply connecting your phone to the computer with a USB cable 😉
@@jvnahx I guess it depends on the cable. However I couldn't try it properly because I don't have a great connection; I also played with it sometimes and it didn't give me any problems
On your argument for the reasons people would want something like this is that the motherboard that i bought didn't natively have wifi or at least I'm not sure how to get to it and we plan on switching to a purely wifi router instead of ethernet i needed something to work with it. Also randomly noticed the artist you were listening too and I looked them up and come to like them too :)
Just got it and installed it in my pc, luckily my pc had a wifi card installed already so I pre download the drivers and installed the new wifi card and I see a major difference.
6:20 i bet there was a CD with drivers and stuff, but 99 % ofpcs built nowadays dont have a dvd drive. I still have a dvd drive because i have a habit of listening to music CDs on my pc, so i got myself Fractal design pop air, which has a slot for a dvd drive 😊.
Yeah there was a cd with what i assume would be the drivers, but as you said, most modern computer don't have a cd reader. Would probably be better for them to include a cheap flashdrive with drivers.
@@theavidconsumerIncluding a flash drive with drivers is such a good idea, I'm shocked it isn't already being done. My guess is they don't want to spend that extra dollar or two per unit. It adds up. After all, you can just get all your drivers online.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Wi-Fi card installation and performance! It's great to hear that it provided flexibility and decent speeds, especially in your basement setup. Your insights on when and why to consider a Wi-Fi card versus Ethernet are helpful for those considering a similar upgrade. Keep up the good work with your tech reviews! 👍📶💻
Seriously, why the manufacturer does not include a usb flash drive with the drivers is beyond me. Flash drives are less than $2 in bulk. Just bite the bullet and throw them in the box.
They do include a disk with drivers, but I think the reason they don't include a flash drive is because they expect everyone to have access to a network in today's world.
This is the best and most informative video I found on these wifi cards. I’m planning on getting the same one. Also I like that little white creeper where’d you get it?
Thanks for saying that, I'm trying to work on my content quality, so I get bummed out if my footage is a little dark or grainy. As for the white creeper, I bought it at a local Walmart. It came in a Minecraft chest saying something like "Minecraft Mini-Figures." They have a bunch of different characters and mobs. I just so happened to get a white creeper. You can buy the figure directly from eBay if you're interested.
@@theavidconsumer You’re welcome! You definitely make great videos so keep it up! It fits your build well, I’ll look into it thank you! My build is very similar, I have the same white Zotac 3070 twin edge gpu.
Definitely picking one of these up. Trying to install ethernet in a Victorian attached property with solid brickwork is not worth the money and effort when I could do a Wi-Fi setup. and dragging a Cat cable throughout the house is not nice to look at lmao.
in a pinch you can download the drivers on your phone and then transfer the files to your PC. i've had to do that when setting up wifi cards for family in the past
They supplied a CD with the drivers at the bottom of the box. You have to read the manual to realize that. I bought this one for my wireless headphones and my generic gaming controller. So my Sony ear buds working great with Windows 10 minus the latency of the audio which is ok cause I'm only listening to music or RUclips. My gaming controller is working well but Cyberpunk will not work with the controller on Bluetooth but only connected to cable. Perhaps CDPR did that on purpose to avoid the latency.
You don't have to have internet to get them installed. That's what the disk is for. Or, as suggested in the directions, you can copy the install info on a USB.
Have fiber internet but my pc uses a garbage USB adapter, my download speed was 50 on that same speed test. I was that one friend that could never play a game due to it having a 2 gigabyte download.
The pc doesn't need Internet to download the driver...u just a way to download it n transfer it to the PC...wut I did was downloaded the file on my phone...plugged my phone to my pc n used file explorer to get the file n downloaded the driver
Good video I have this same one. i have never connected the blu tooth I didn't realize it was the separate cable I thought it allworked whn plugged into the slot. (stupid me :) ) so now I am going to open PC up and plug it in and see how blutooth works :). P.S I thought when you shown the speed of ethernet you would compare it at the end with the wifi card and show the results for both.
I got about 60ish less download speed using the wifi card vs ethernet. Distance is really the determining factor as well as obstructions. You are right though, I will be sure to include a side-by-side comparison in future videos.
im hesitating to get it or not my motherboard's wifi signal is insanely good, i literally play video games on it with no problem until the thing that holds the antennas becomes clunky again. i cant have a stable internet when that happens. is this a good replacement?
Try tape to hold the antenna in place if you don't want to spend the money, but if you are willing to, this Wi-Fi card is perfect! It will definitely perform better than onboard Wi-Fi.
@@oniidante I'd say the effective range is about 15-20ft for WiFi (expect advertised network speeds in this range) it can be much more such as 30-50ft if you don't have many walls or floors between the system and the router (but expect slower speeds).
I have poor ubs ports after years of use. i have a usb adapter that sucks ass now constantly dissconnecting unlike my laptop. So i think I'm gonna try this out when i move to ohio......because so far it sounds as though were gonna have slower internet over there.

hi ,i need bluetooth i already have lan connection. can you tell me how many bluetooth devices can we connect at the same time? wireless mouse,keyboard and wireless speakers at the same time.
Did some research. Only thing I noted was they have different Bluetooth versions. In terms of speed they should perform the same under the same network conditions. I say buy whichever is cheaper for you.
No, it does exactly what it says. Has great speeds and makes running a wireless system more reliable. If possible, I recommend having as little obstructions as possible, avoid walls and large appliances.
Really depends on distance from the router and obstacles in-between. If you are referring to stability in terms of retaining a connection not regarding speed. I've never had it disconnect being about 2 rooms and a floor below away, with a couple of walls between. Speed was significantly lower but never had connection issues.
im using this adapter with isp unifi 300mbps.. but it seem my speedtest reaching at 200mbps.. after seeing this video you can reach to 500 like no problem.. so it is not the adapter speed limit... what is wrong with my adapter?
Check with your Internet Provider. Ask what speeds you are currently paying for. If you are only paying for a 200mbps plan you'll most likely max out at 200. This likely isn't an adaptor issue.
Hey buddy I wanna ask something is the Bluetooth working fine & what's it's range as i was thinking of connecting Bluetooth controller for casual gaming
It works up to about 18-20ft reliably. (Can get up to 10m or 32ft and still have bluetooth connection) Haven't really had a need to go further than 20ft, used this card in my living room pc to play Skyrim from the couch via Bluetooth. I imagine you want to do the same. If that's the case I'd highly recommend!
Is anyone else having issues with the wi fi card? Mine is going to a low ping and its gets very high for some reason every 5 min or so? can anyone help with this problem it would be a big help.
First things first, make sure to make sure your windows are up to date, including the optional updates. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the WiFi Card drivers. If this doesn't fix the issue, try checking with the router. Try following up with each device. Let me know if this fixes the issue.
@@theavidconsumer hey there, just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. For the most part it works better than it did for sure. When I first play a game it happens again but after a while it stays good. Does this mean the issue has mean resolved? btw thank you so much for responding back means a lot!
Thank you for the video! Don't u know by a change whether it is possible to connect ethernet cable to my mobo and share internet via hotspot using this wifi card
You could already be reaching the maximum speeds provided by your Internet Provider. If you are already reaching the maximum speeds, you don't need to upgrade. Unless you wanted to upgrade to a wifi card for distance & Bluetooth purposes.
I bought this one. It's a little on the pricier side but it comes with a larger battery capacity. You can definitely find cheaper ones but I really like the one I bought. Can be used as a vacuum too! a.co/d/fGAU4jk
My desktop already has bt5.0 and wifi, but I want to upgrade to this card, hoping to get better connectivity for bt devices and maybe better range on the wifi. Do I need to disable the installed software in device management or something or will the software download do all that? Also, how do I do that?
@@theavidconsumer Thanks for the information. I kinda thought that because I've watched several vids and they don't mention anything other than just downloading the new drivers, but there have been comments saying you have to. Anyway, thx.
im interested in this even tho im mostly fine with ethernet but we sometimes have lan parties and thing like this could make it whole lot easier also I want bluetooth too
what is the chance in the world that I need wifi card, start looking review of what I've choose, found your video and figured out that I have the same mother board, video card and JBL speaker? ))
Do we have to have bluetooth on our PC to be able to benefit from the wifi connection of this card? and if not, then does this card give us bluetooth or is it just bluetooth compatible? Plsss help meee
@@asilva2 From what I researched. The TX3000e has a better antenna design allowing it to have a slightly advantage in range. So if you want the best range, I suggest you go with the TX3000E
It is a rechargeable electric air duster and vacuum in one! A little on the pricey side but it has suited my use case well. If you want to pay once and never again I highly recommend it! 👍👍👍 Though you can definitely find something cheaper but ultimately up to you! Link to Product: Koonie 15000mAh Cordless Air Duster & Vacuum 2 in 1 with Washable Air Duster Filter a.co/d/9gc1Cyl
Thank u for this video! I was debating between this card and the wavlink ax5400m card and this one looks much sleeker and seems to work great. Great video and u deserve more subs 🩷
The TX50E is older and the physical size is slightly larger. As for price I'm not sure why the TX50E is more expensive when the TX55E performs better. The TX50E uses Bluetooth 5.0 while the TX55E uses Bluetooth 5.2.
Currently using an Xbox One Series X Controller and I don't notice any delays or lag in-game. Plays as if it were connected to the computer by cable. No distinguishable difference to me. Also makes gaming an enjoyable experience on my living room pc to play Skyrim from the couch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 😹
Hello, i am very uninformed regarding this argument so this might sound like a really really dumb question, but looking at the amazon it says its compatible with 5gb connection, and i have a 4gb one, so will it be compatible?
It is an electric duster that I bought on amazon. There are cheaper options than the one I listed, but the one in the video is a great, long-lasting option. Battery life is excellent for the duration of use! Though, I think you could get away with using a cheaper option!
Yes, it will work. You will need to make sure you have a pcie slot available. When installing, make sure to leave ethernet cable plugged in in order to download and install the wifi card drivers. Once you've done that, you should be good to go! No more cable!
It will include the basic drivers to get the wifi card up & working. If possible, I recommend updating the drivers to the most recent or installing drivers directly from their website .
Yes I did! Did you like the build? Also I have a new system right now, if you would like to see the new build feel free to watch the more recent video!
i got that card and on my wifi 6 network the download and upload is 45/45mbps when i pay for gigabit. im on the 5g band and itshowsa send/receive of 1000/1000. i expectat least 150-200 over wifi but im not even getting that.and i got both antennas on. can u help? edit: mines the tx50e but it installs and looks alot like yours.
My recommendation would be to go to the tp-link website and search for drivers regarding that specific model. Install the most recent drivers and see if the speed has improved. If not is there any obstructions between your computer and router?
@theavidconsumer I did that and it didn't work, but I messed around for a bit after uninstlaling the drivers completed and it works fines now. Been dealing with this since I got it and idk why it works now lmao
@@tubelesstrippin yes, Uninstalling drivers can work too, it will basically have the computer reinstall drivers again which sometimes fixes the problem. Glad you got it figured out!
@@theavidconsumer Did some experimenting and its the corner of the house I'm in is a virtual deadspot for wifi. As soon as I set it up in any other room the speed matches my ethernet levels.
No I did not. I didn't notice any lagspikes or stutters due to wifi connection. I think it really depends on how stable your router/wifi speeds are. For the most part I haven't had any issues with Bluetooth or wifi when playing games like Fortnite & Call Of Duty, it has all ran smoothly! 👍 Hope that answers your question! 😁
@@_bleufort_4715Router is upstairs but if it were on the same level it is about 18 to 20ish ft away. Highly recommend having as little obstructions as you can between you and the router as well as having the antennas face the router for best performance. I saw a significant drop in wifi speeds when antennas where facing away.
hey great video! Just wanted to ask does it work same as onboarf mobo wifi and is it better than usb dongels for gaming. I think the usb ones may get ping spikes while gaming although I could be wrong.

@@theavidconsumer hey there, just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. For the most part it works better than it did for sure. When I first play a game it happens again but after a while it stays good. Does this mean the issue has mean resolved?
btw thank you so much for responding back means a lot!
@@Kerbecsss Of Course! I hope to keep it that way 🙏
Thank you for the video! Don't u know by a change whether it is possible to connect ethernet cable to my mobo and share internet via hotspot using this wifi card
I'm going to be honest, I don't know the answer.
I have it and my speed was the same so idk if it was a W and I don’t feel like it made a difference
You could already be reaching the maximum speeds provided by your Internet Provider. If you are already reaching the maximum speeds, you don't need to upgrade. Unless you wanted to upgrade to a wifi card for distance & Bluetooth purposes.
Hey
nice review, but I went for ub500 usb nano
btw what's that fan for cleaning dust from pc?
I bought this one. It's a little on the pricier side but it comes with a larger battery capacity. You can definitely find cheaper ones but I really like the one I bought. Can be used as a vacuum too!

but which MB has this type of connection extra slot , and also is it better to have pcie or pce ? , is this a ATX motherboard?
Yes the motherboard in the video is an ATX motherboard. You can still use the wifi card in a regular size pcie slot.
My desktop already has bt5.0 and wifi, but I want to upgrade to this card, hoping to get better connectivity for bt devices and maybe better range on the wifi. Do I need to disable the installed software in device management or something or will the software download do all that? Also, how do I do that?
It will default to the wifi card once drivers are installed. I myself have built-in Bluetooth and wifi and it still default to the wifi card
@@theavidconsumer Thanks for the information. I kinda thought that because I've watched several vids and they don't mention anything other than just downloading the new drivers, but there have been comments saying you have to. Anyway, thx.
@@raincadeify No Problem! Also thanks for question! I'm sure other people will find this comment useful!
Hi. Your speed test show 509/10 Mbps in wifi what is the speed that your ISP provides you ?
@@66longinus The ISP plan we have is 500down and 10 up. Though we actually get about 582 down if directly next to the router
im interested in this even tho im mostly fine with ethernet but we sometimes have lan parties and thing like this could make it whole lot easier also I want bluetooth too
what is the chance in the world that I need wifi card, start looking review of what I've choose, found your video and figured out that I have the same mother board, video card and JBL speaker? ))
WOW, now that is something new! XD
What are the odds of something like that!
😂
thank you
Do we have to have bluetooth on our PC to be able to benefit from the wifi connection of this card? and if not, then does this card give us bluetooth or is it just bluetooth compatible? Plsss help meee
Yes, it will add both bluetooth and wifi capabilities to your system!
@@theavidconsumer thank you mannnn 🙌
Where should the connector plug in to the motherboard
It should go into a USB Header. You can search it up online or on your motherboard manual
We’re do you install the drivers ?
Can be found on the TP-Link website by searching for the specific model, you will find the wifi drivers aswell as the bluetooth drivers.
Should I get this or the archer tx3000e
@@asilva2 The TX3000e performs slightly better but the TX55e has better Bluetooth. Personally, just pick the more affordable one.
@@theavidconsumer Do they have the same range tho? My routers on the opposite side of the house im tryna find out which one will reach it better
@@asilva2 From what I researched. The TX3000e has a better antenna design allowing it to have a slightly advantage in range. So if you want the best range, I suggest you go with the TX3000E
what is that air blower you are using? is that self refillable?
It is a rechargeable electric air duster and vacuum in one! A little on the pricey side but it has suited my use case well. If you want to pay once and never again I highly recommend it! 👍👍👍
Though you can definitely find something cheaper but ultimately up to you!

My pc does not have wifi only has ethernet if i use a wifi card will it give me bluetooth and wifi?
Yes, this specific wifi card will! It comes with an additional cable for Bluetooth capabilities! 👍
Upload - 10 mbps? Is it your provider limitation or the card?
@@IvanMaksimov Limitation of my ISP. Thank you very good question!
Which one better wifi card or usb dongle ?
Dedicated WiFi card 100%
Better Latency & better performance/stability
Can I use this card with Gigabyte Aorus Pro V2 motherboard?
Yes, this will work with that motherboard; just make sure the system has an extra PCI-E Slot available for the Wi-Fi card to occupy.
@@theavidconsumer Thanks buddy, I'll get this.
Thank u for this video! I was debating between this card and the wavlink ax5400m card and this one looks much sleeker and seems to work great. Great video and u deserve more subs 🩷
Thanks appreciate the comment! Motivates me to make more content!
Hey I wanted to know if it matters what kind of Wi-Fi you have to us tp link bc I have spectrum and I don’t know if to link will work with spectrum
Should work! And don't worry if you have any issues you can always return! Amazon has great customer service!
what is the difference between this card and archer TX50E?
The TX50E is older and the physical size is slightly larger. As for price I'm not sure why the TX50E is more expensive when the TX55E performs better. The TX50E uses Bluetooth 5.0 while the TX55E uses Bluetooth 5.2.
How is it with the controller stability
Currently using an Xbox One Series X Controller and I don't notice any delays or lag in-game. Plays as if it were connected to the computer by cable. No distinguishable difference to me.
Also makes gaming an enjoyable experience on my living room pc to play Skyrim from the couch.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 😹
Also wanted to ask what kinda blower is that
Asus ax 3000 is good or tp link ax 3000
Hello, i am very uninformed regarding this argument so this might sound like a really really dumb question, but looking at the amazon it says its compatible with 5gb connection, and i have a 4gb one, so will it be compatible?
Do you mean WiFi 4 & WiFi 5?
what's that blower? thingy?
It is an electric duster that I bought on amazon. There are cheaper options than the one I listed, but the one in the video is a great, long-lasting option. Battery life is excellent for the duration of use! Though, I think you could get away with using a cheaper option!
Would these Wi-Fi cards work a motherboard that doesn’t support Wi-Fi and stuck on cable only? I got a Msi pro z690 A
Yes, it will work. You will need to make sure you have a pcie slot available. When installing, make sure to leave ethernet cable plugged in in order to download and install the wifi card drivers. Once you've done that, you should be good to go! No more cable!
Does the CD include all of the drivers needed for the computer to see and use the Wi-Fi card? I am thinking of getting one of these.
It will include the basic drivers to get the wifi card up & working. If possible, I recommend updating the drivers to the most recent or installing drivers directly from their website .
Can you shake that camera even more?
@@BubuRuzu Sorry I know 😭. It is getting better though. At the time of recording I didn't really think it though. But appreciate the criticism. 🫶
do we know if this wifi adapter is compatible with a amd cpu?
It should be compatible with both AMD & Intel platforms. As long as you have a PCIE Slot, you should be fine.
can i use the wifi things on my motherboard instead of the card?
Yes, if your motherboard has built-in wifi you can use that aswell.
@@theavidconsumer ok sweet
Cam you be a little more specific on what you mean by "wifi things" I want to make sure I lead you in the right direction
@@theavidconsumer its like the things on the wifi card that are goldish, you plug the antennas
into them
@@theavidconsumer idk the name lmao
can anyone tell me if i need a wifi adapter to get wifi on my pc? and does that count for bluetooth aswell?
yes you do! or an ethernet cable (would be cheaper)
This maybe off topic but did you build your pc? Also nice video, very informative
Yes I did! Did you like the build? Also I have a new system right now, if you would like to see the new build feel free to watch the more recent video!
can i download the drivers before i get the wifi card ?
Yes, you can download them to the computer or a USB Stick to have ready before purchasing the wifi card.
i got that card and on my wifi 6 network the download and upload is 45/45mbps when i pay for gigabit. im on the 5g band and itshowsa send/receive of 1000/1000. i expectat least 150-200 over wifi but im not even getting that.and i got both antennas on. can u help?
edit: mines the tx50e but it installs and looks alot like yours.
My recommendation would be to go to the tp-link website and search for drivers regarding that specific model. Install the most recent drivers and see if the speed has improved. If not is there any obstructions between your computer and router?
@theavidconsumer I did that and it didn't work, but I messed around for a bit after uninstlaling the drivers completed and it works fines now. Been dealing with this since I got it and idk why it works now lmao
@@tubelesstrippin yes, Uninstalling drivers can work too, it will basically have the computer reinstall drivers again which sometimes fixes the problem. Glad you got it figured out!
Is the cable for bluetooth?
Yes, cable is intended for bluetooth
What's the usb cable used for?
It's a cable that connects to a USB Header on the motherboard. It's for the bluetooth capability.
Damn, I've just gone from 45mbps ethernet down to 21mbps using this same card.
Try reinstalling drivers or repositioning the antennas
@@theavidconsumer Did some experimenting and its the corner of the house I'm in is a virtual deadspot for wifi. As soon as I set it up in any other room the speed matches my ethernet levels.
@@Tomfissh Awesome! Glad to hear!
I can connect to wifi, but bluetooth is not installing
Did you connect the USB Cable to a USB Header? If you did, try installing the Bluetooth drivers from the website.
in wich slot do i put it
Any pcie slot. Preferably the shorter ones.
what are youre pc specs?
@@JulianOehler-d2s Currently I have the following.
Ryzen 7 5800x

RTX 3070
it would interest me wich case youre using its looking pretty decent@@theavidconsumer
@@JulianOehler-d2s It would be the corsair 5000d
do you get any packet loss/lag when playing online games using the adapter?
No I did not. I didn't notice any lagspikes or stutters due to wifi connection. I think it really depends on how stable your router/wifi speeds are. For the most part I haven't had any issues with Bluetooth or wifi when playing games like Fortnite & Call Of Duty, it has all ran smoothly! 👍
Hope that answers your question! 😁
@@theavidconsumer ahh I see, thanks for the reply, great review btw 👍👍
@@theavidconsumer hey man I got another question for you, how far is your computer from your router?
@@_bleufort_4715Router is upstairs but if it were on the same level it is about 18 to 20ish ft away. Highly recommend having as little obstructions as you can between you and the router as well as having the antennas face the router for best performance. I saw a significant drop in wifi speeds when antennas where facing away.
@@theavidconsumerhow much ping were u running on Fortnite
hey great video! Just wanted to ask does it work same as onboarf mobo wifi and is it better than usb dongels for gaming. I think the usb ones may get ping spikes while gaming although I could be wrong.
Yes, it will replace your on-board wifi. A dedicated wifi card will perform a lot better than on-board. More reliable & steady connection.
Does any Wi-Fi card work with any motherboard
Should work with any motherboard that isn't from the dinosaur era, if your system runs windows 10 or 11 you should be good to go!
@@theavidconsumer thanks do you think the AX3000 Dual Band PCI-E, wifi adapter would work in a Gigabyte H610M S2H H610 I’d assume so as there not from dinosaurs era 😂 just ordered my first pc so I need a Wi-Fi adapter
@@Chwisaaa Oh Yeah! It will work for sure!

gained 10 ms of lag on download, bad for fps games.
Did you try reinstalling drivers? Could also be the distance of the system from the router? Are the antennas in the right position?
Area Range of this card
I'd say the effective range is up to 15-20ft. Will most likely work up to 50-60ft.
