Operating Your Wi-Fi Adapter

Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Performance

The Archer TXE70UH operates across three distinct Wi-Fi bands: 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz, providing a combined speed of up to 5400 Mbps. The 6 GHz band, exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E, offers a clean, uncongested spectrum for devices running Windows 11, delivering unparalleled speeds and ultra-low latency. The 5 GHz band provides high speeds for most modern devices, while the 2.4 GHz band offers broader coverage and compatibility with older devices.

  • 6 GHz Band: Up to 2402 Mbps (Requires Windows 11)
  • 5 GHz Band: Up to 2402 Mbps
  • 2.4 GHz Band: Up to 574 Mbps

Enhanced Network Efficiency (MU-MIMO & OFDMA)

The adapter incorporates MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technologies to significantly improve network throughput and efficiency. MU-MIMO allows the adapter to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, reducing wait times. OFDMA enables multiple devices to share a single data stream, further optimizing bandwidth usage and reducing latency, especially in busy network environments.

Optimized Range and Signal

Equipped with dual-band high-gain antennas and Beamforming technology, the Archer TXE70UH focuses Wi-Fi signals towards your device, improving signal quality, range, and transmission performance. This results in a more stable and reliable connection, even at greater distances from your router.
