Questions & Answers

What does it mean when it says intel ax200 on my computer? Isn't tp- supposed to be there? ax3000 link? Because I disabled the one that came with the computer (ac), I know this is the correct one. ?

The Intel AX200 is nothing more than a wireless access point. M came with a fi 6 chip. 2 2230/1216 slots, which your motherboard typically lacks. The Link AX3000 is a full-featured wireless access point. The AX200, PCIe adapter, and antennas are included in the fi 6 adapter. The chip, not the adapter, is recognized by the OS. As a result, AX200 is the correct answer, and the product has been successfully installed.

What is the difference between the tx50e and the tx3000e models?

The TX 50e antennas are attached to the PCI express output TX 3000e via an adapter that can be extended anywhere between 3 and 6 feet.

Is this backwards compatible with a WiFi 5 router from the past?

I do, in fact, own an Asus RT-AC66U router. It's an AC88U, and it's fine.

Why was it necessary to connect it to the USB header on the motherboard? It's a huge improvement over what I had before, but why did it need to occupy a USB header on my motherboard? It's in a PCIe port, and there shouldn't be anything else it needs to do, unless TPlink just slapped a USB bluetooth chip onto the board out of the blue

The blue screen of death/crashes appeared on my computer right out of the box with this card
3/5

This product gave me a headache, a blue screen of death, and forced me to reinstall Windows after deleting everything. I lost about 5 hours of time troubleshooting and had to reinstall Windows after deleting everything. Purchase is not recommended. I installed it as I would any other PCIe card by following the instructions. The first issue arose when the drivers appeared to be obstructed. The computer then blue-screened and wouldn't let me get past the user login screen. I was getting blue screens all the time: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED There is an issue with Netwtw08. sys is a system file related to Intel's ProSet wireless drivers. For some reason, the problem persisted even after uninstalling the drivers in safe mode. As a result, I attempted a system refresh, first selecting the option that preserved my files. It was a no-go, and I still had the problem, so I tried a hard reset by formatting the drive (after backing up my data in safe mode), but it still gave me the blue screen. After that, I made a Windows 10 USB media creation tool in the hopes of reinstalling Windows from a USB drive. My computer would not even post correctly after completing the process, indicating that the Windows 10 installation had failed. And that the computer is unable to start for some reason. Finally, and probably what I should've done first, I should've removed and disconnected the wifi card entirely. That's what I did, and then I went through the process of reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling Windows, and voila! It worked, and now I have to reinstall everything, which will take a long time, but at least I can say you now have a fresh install of Windows. This card causes my computer to crash right out of the box. br>br>For your convenience, I've included some of my general specs:
- Tuf x570 gaming plus (wifi) by ASUSbr>- The AMD 3800XT is a high-end processor with a lot of features. ASUS Strix GTX 1080 - There are 64 gigabytes of memory on this computer. ddr4 memory aptitude.

Bluetooth Consumes More Power Than My Motherboard's USB Header Can Supply I chose this two-part solution because my desktop didn't come with bluetooth and I needed to upgrade my wireless card
4/5

a single package br>br>Everything went smoothly except for the fact that I was unable to use Bluetooth after installing the driver. I tried a variety of drivers, but no installed bluetooth devices could be found after the machine was rebooted. After much frustration, I realized that the USB header on my motherboard might not be supplying enough power to power the bluetooth. I went ahead and bought a male USB header to dual male USB adapter based on that line of reasoning. I plugged the bluetooth power cord into the adapter, ran the adapter cord out the back of the computer, and plugged both USB plugs into the back of my motherboard, and Bluetooth is now working perfectly!.

The connection is shaky and drops out frequently
3/5

After a quick setup, the WiFi appeared to work flawlessly at first - I ran a few tests on my internal network to see if I was getting the advertised performance, and everything seemed to be going well at first. I had file transfer speeds of over 900 Mbps between devices on my network - Not quite what it claims to be capable of. I also used ookla to run some online tests and received a passable result of 920 Mbps to my ISP. br>br>So far, everything has gone well, right? br>br>However, after about 20 minutes of use, I noticed that things had significantly slowed down. When I checked the status of my connection, it appeared that the device had lost all communication. It reconnected on its own after about a minute, and everything appeared to be back to normal. br>br>This process never came to a halt. The card could only stay connected to my 5GHz network for about 33 minutes at a time. It would drop the connection every 60 to 120 seconds, and it would take about 60 to 120 seconds to reconnect. This is my first TP-Link device. Because of how poorly the device performed, Link has effectively ruined my interest in their products.

It's a great card, but the setup is a shambles
5/5

So, the card arrived in this nice package, with nice and large antennas. I was in a good mood when I began installing it, but my mood quickly changed. There isn't a DVD drive on my computer. I had to download it from the website using my old wifi card, which worked fine; I installed the drivers, swapped out the wifi cards, and restarted my computer. It connected to my wifi after restarting, but the speeds were so slow that Chrome mistook me for someone without internet. So, I took out my laptop, put the drivers on a usb stick, and restarted my computer, only to discover that they were the same drivers I found online. Desperately, I restarted my computer, and it suddenly worked. I'm happy with the current speeds.

Windows 10 is truly plug and play
5/5

I recently built a computer and needed a WiFi and Bluetooth card for ease of use. Installing is a breeze: I simply inserted the card into the pcie 2 slot. 0 x1 slot, then JUSB1 with the cable attached. When I turned on my computer and plugged in an Ethernet cable, it began automatically downloading drivers. Then I'd be able to use Wifi and Bluetooth devices without any problems. If you're using Windows 10, this is a must-have. I am unable to comment on the other versions.

These Intel AX200s are plagued by problems
3/5

The chipset used is the Intel AX200. I used to have the Ubit card, which had the same Intel AX200, but I had nothing but issues with it. TP- After a few days, I ran into the same problem. Do you own an ASUS RT-AC66U router? Up-to-date AX88U router. firmware version number I've tried a variety of different models and brands of Desktop PCIe cards, all of which use the Intel AX200 chipset and all of which have the same latency and speed issues. I've been troubleshooting for weeks, reinstalled Windows 10, and updated the motherboard bios. Nothing worked, including changing the date, resetting the router, using different PCIe slots, updating drivers, and using older drivers. What's strange is that I have two laptops with the AX200 laptop version, and neither of them has any problems. My Ryzen 3900X is installed on an Asus X570 Tuf Gaming Plus board. With the Intel AX200 chipset, I cannot recommend any of these desktop cards. Perhaps different computer configurations will not have the same problems, but I'm just bringing up the possibility of problems with these cards.
