ASUS WiFi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 PCI-E Expansion Card (PCE-AXE58BT) - Supports 6GHz Band, WPA3, 160MHz, WPA3 Network Security, OFDMA and MU-MIMO, External Antenna, Magnetic Base, Ultra Low Latency

This is a fantastic wireless card. It still works well after a few years of having it and meets all of my needs for network speeds. It's also really easy to set up and install for those who have custom builds.

As an IT professional, I’m always in pursuit of cutting-edge technology that enhances connectivity and efficiency. The ASUS AXE5400 (PCE-AXE58BT) WiFi 6E card is a prime example of such innovation. With its support for the 6GHz band, it offers a new realm of wireless freedom with minimal interference and ultra-low latency.The card’s 160MHz bandwidth capability ensures that you’re getting the fastest possible data rates, which is a boon for both bandwidth-intensive tasks and competitive gaming where every millisecond counts. The inclusion of WPA3 security provides the latest in encryption standards, keeping your network secure from external threats.OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies work in tandem to provide efficient data transmission across multiple devices, ensuring that each device’s connectivity needs are met without compromise. The external antenna setup further enhances signal strength and range, providing stable and robust wireless coverage.Moreover, the Bluetooth 5.2 support is a welcome addition, allowing for seamless connectivity with a wide range of peripherals. The card’s compatibility with Windows 11 and 10 (64bits) only ensures that it’s optimized for the latest operating systems, offering a hassle-free user experience.In essence, the ASUS AXE5400 (PCE-AXE58BT) WiFi 6E card is an exceptional piece of hardware that I highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their wireless experience to the next level.

Just, wow! I have my main desktop hard wired with cat6 to a ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 (wifi 6 router). I was getting about 750megs down/28 up internet and the 1gig link up/down for network traffic. I got tired of the long wire running along baseboards and visible annoyance in the office. I had experience in the past with wifi cards and usually found it killed my internet speeds, so I took a chance with this since I have a wifi6 router.Hooking it up was insanely easy, I had a free USB header on my mother board that it plugged into fine. Once installed it was immediately recognized by windows. I added it to my 5ghz dedicated for TV's band. It immediately recognized the wifi6 signal and connected without issues once I stopped fat fingering my network password.I went to speedtest site and selected the fastest server in my area (that does matter when doing speed tests). I ran 4 tests and averaged 1gig with a peak of 1.1gigs down (1.3gig xfinity internet service). WOW! Who would have thought the adapter would be faster then my hard wire! For reference I'm about 23' away from the router which is in a utility room with a lot of electrical including dedicated servers, heating/ac, water heater, etc. My up/down link for network speed is about 1.9/1.9. Double what it was wired.I have not tested bluetooth or updated to latest drivers etc, will do that soon but this blew me out of the water for the speeds I'm getting with Wifi6. As a note for those getting slow speeds. Distance matters, whats between you and your router matters, and your router plays a HUGE factor. If you don't have a wifi6 router you're wasting your money as you won't get the full potential of this card.

My experience with the Asus AX3000 PCE-AX58BT has been pretty positive so far. Installation was easy but one thing I noticed that a lot of people miss (based on what I have seen online and myself included). This PCIe Wi-Fi card can ONLY be installed on a PCIe x1 slot. I was thankfully able to get this working on a PCIe x4 slot but your mileage may vary. Aside from that just install the latest drivers from the Asus website and you're good to go.Performance on the wireless card has been very satisfying. This is thanks to those external antennas which are very useful! The speeds match those of when I am connected via Ethernet.Bluetooth connectivity is very solid. The moment my workstation turns on my bluetooth keyboard connects almost immediately! No issues whatsoever.There are many cards out there but in the end I wanted to go with a trusted brand like Asus.

I needed to purchase a wf-fi card since my ASUS motherboard did not have bluetooth and wifi built in. I first purchased another supposedly great ASUS wi-fi card but that did not include bluetooth, nor did it work well at all after a few weeks.I found this card which was cheaper, was supposedly more up to date, had bluetooth capacity built in and had more recent drivers and went with this.1. Set-up?: This is relatively easy, though I recommend you download the driver beforehand and have it ready to go (CD provided BTW). This isa plug in card, but you knew that already. It does require a USB connector for the bluetooth connector on the motherboard. If you don't have that, bluetooth will not work. Once the card is in place, you can use either the card connectors and put the antenna (two) onto the back of the PC or use the cables and use the base unit with the two antennas and place this on the pc as the base unit has a magnet to keep it in place.2. Use?: I have found this to be very good and stable. For some reason my speed is not what I had received from the direct ethernet, but that may also be a issue with my router rather than this product. However, the connection is quite stable. Very rarely, when gaming through a server I have lost the connection, but that is exceedingly rare. Otherwise I have had no issues whatsoever in other applications.Overall?: This is a really good product. I don't know why the other ASUS wi-fi card is more expensive and has an older wi-fi card, but that started failing for some reason after weeks. This has not given me a single real problem. So I judge this as being really good.
