WiFi 6 Adapters: The Most Affordable Upgrade to Next-Gen Wireless

If you’re anything like me, you probably expected your brand-new WiFi 6 router to give all of your devices phenomenal internet speeds. Or at least faster than your dust-covered WiFi 5 router.

But then you realize: you also need WiFi 6 compatible devices to experience the full power of the latest generation of WiFi. Your new gaming laptop that you’ve finally found for a decent price because it’s a few years old? Doesn’t have the latest WiFi chipset and ends up competing with your roommates’ phones and computers.

Now you’re experiencing slowdowns during your peak gaming hours.

While there’s been many promises from vendors about bringing your home network into the next era. The last two years have seen many of them investing in R&D to produce WiFi 6 equipment. With the pricepoint of entry continually lowering, more and more people are their way to their own WiFi 6 networking.

Indeed, as many articles have already introduced, compared with WiFi 4 and WiFi 5, the latest WiFi 6 standard provides extremely fast speed, ultra-low latency, and uninterrupted connectivity. All of these combine for smoother streaming and more immersive gaming.

It’s easy, however, to ignore that only by having a router and a wireless device that support the WiFi 6 standard at the same time can you actually enjoy a genuine WiFi 6 network. Having only been announced two years ago, most PC network adapters on the market do not support the latest WiFi standard. This means buying a WiFi 6 router does not solve the network speed issues for your last-gen computer.

Obviously, you don’t want to buy a brand-new gaming rig. So, what does that leave you with?

One solution is a WiFi 6 adapter. Basically, it’s an affordable way to upgrade your PC rather than buying one that comes with WiFi 6 support. When choosing a WiFi 6 adapter, the TP-Link Archer AX3000E WiFi 6 adapter takes full advantage of your WiFi 6 router.

Armed with WiFi 6 technology, the TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe Adapter unlocks the full potential of your WiFi 6 router.

  • 1024-QAM and a 160 MHz bandwidth empower the TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 adapter to achieve speeds 3× faster than the WiFi 5 standard, driving your PC to peak performance.
  • The combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology ensures the most efficient WiFi connection for your PC. OFDMA reduces lag by up to 75%, while MU-MIMO allows more devices to communicate simultaneously. The TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 adapter significantly reduces latency, which is critical to winning a MOBA match.
  • WPA3, the latest WiFi security protocol, provides more secure encryption in WiFi password safety, keeping your network safe from wireless hacking.
  • Two multi-directional and high-performance antennas help the TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 adapter find the best location for optimum signal reception

Additionally, the TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe Adapter is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 technology, achieving 2× faster speeds and 4× broader coverage than Bluetooth 4.2. You can connect multiple devices like headphones, keyboards, and game controllers, to enjoy a smoother gaming experience than ever before.

In short, with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, the TP-Link AX3000E WiFi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe Adapter easily upgrades your PC to next-gen WiFi, freeing your gaming from cables and fully optimizing your gameplay.
