Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Archer TX50UH compatible with Windows 11?
Yes. The Archer TX50UH supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (64-bit). macOS is not officially supported — check TP-Link's website for the latest driver availability.
Does it work with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) routers?
Yes. The adapter is backwards compatible with 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a networks. You'll only achieve Wi-Fi 6 speeds when connected to a Wi-Fi 6 router.
Do I need to install drivers manually?
A driver CD is included in the box. You can also download the latest drivers directly from the TP-Link Australia support page.
Can I use this adapter with a USB 2.0 port?
The adapter uses a USB 3.0 interface for maximum throughput. It may function in a USB 2.0 port, but speeds will be limited by the USB 2.0 bandwidth ceiling of 480 Mbps.
What is the USB extension base for?
The included USB 3.0 extension base allows you to position the adapter away from your PC tower for better signal reception and antenna orientation flexibility.
