Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Wi-Fi 6E router to use the Archer TXE70UH?
To use the 6 GHz band, yes — you need a Wi-Fi 6E router that broadcasts on 6 GHz. However, the TXE70UH is backwards compatible and will connect to standard Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 routers on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands as well.
Is Wi-Fi 6E available in Australia?
Yes. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has approved the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi use in Australia. Wi-Fi 6E routers and devices are available and fully legal to use.
Does it work on macOS or Linux?
The Archer TXE70UH officially supports Windows 11, 10, and 8.1. macOS and Linux are not listed as supported operating systems. Check the TP-Link support page for the latest driver availability.
Does the USB 3.0 port matter?
Yes. The adapter is designed for USB 3.0 to avoid bottlenecking the high wireless throughput. While it will physically connect to a USB 2.0 port, performance will be significantly limited. Always use a USB 3.0 or higher port for best results.
Can I use it on a laptop?
Yes — the TXE70UH works on any Windows laptop with a USB 3.0 port. The included extension cradle allows you to position the adapter and its antennas for the best possible signal, rather than having it tucked behind the laptop body.
What is the range of the Archer TXE70UH?
Range depends on your environment, router placement, and band used. The 6 GHz band offers the highest speeds but shorter range compared to 2.4 GHz. The four high-gain external antennas help maximise range on all three bands. For best 6 GHz performance, keep the adapter within clear line-of-sight or close proximity to your router.
