Is a WiFi card worth it in 2023? | TP-Link Archer TX55E

  • Recently switched wifi providers for a faster internet connection. I noticed that the motherboard wifi isn't reaching anywhere near the rated speeds I was paying for. So after a little bit of research I decided on purchasing this wifi card. The installation process was pretty easy as long as you make sure to plug in the bluetooth cable in advance! You will also need to have an internet connection to install wifi and bluetooth drivers! My download speeds went from 230 gb/per second to 510 gb/per second! I was really impressed with the performance because of how far I am from my router. (My router is located upstairs and my computer is downstairs, there are also a couple of walls in between me and the router.) When testing near the router I got about 590ish gb/per second which was really close to my ethernet speed! My ethernet speed is 600 gb/per second which is really impressive! I also found myself using the bluetooth for my JBL speaker as well as my xbox controller to play games with no noticeable delay. Very impressed with the performance given its price! I really like having the flexibility of being able to have my computer anywhere in my house with a reliable connection without having to run an ethernet throughout the house.
    Pros:
    - Wifi 6 Capable
    - Bluetooth
    - Can fit in SFF computer
    - Can be used to upgrade older systems for a fair price
    Cons:
    - Will need internet to install wifi card drivers
    - Installing the bluetooth cable may be difficult for those who are unfamiliar with computers
    - Takes up a PCIE-Slot
    Overall,
    Very fair price for a reliable wifi/bluetooth card! Adds flexibility to location of system as well as adding value to older systems!

The less obstructions and less space between the system and the wifi router the closer youll get to ethernet performance.

    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.

    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 TH-cam. 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.
