TP-Link Archer TX20E (AX1800 WiFi 6 PCIe + BT 5.2)

A beginner-tier PCIe adapter (AX1800 dual-band, 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz plus 574 on 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2) that's the most economical way to add WiFi 6 and Bluetooth to a desktop slot. It's for Windows 10/11 64-bit machines that lack modern wireless. Skip it for 6 GHz or WiFi 7 networks (it's dual-band AX only) and for macOS or Linux desktops, since the driver is Windows-only.
