Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 6 GHz band available in Australia?
Yes. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has approved the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi use in Australia, and the Archer TXE73E carries RCM certification for the AU/NZ market.
Do I need a Wi-Fi 6E router to use this adapter?
To use the 6 GHz band, you will need a Wi-Fi 6E compatible router or access point. The adapter is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and older standards on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Does the Archer TXE73E work with Linux?
TP-Link officially supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Linux support is not officially listed — check the TP-Link AU support page for the latest driver availability.
Can I use the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi simultaneously?
Yes. The Archer TXE73E supports concurrent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 operation, so you can stay connected wirelessly while using Bluetooth peripherals at the same time.
What PCIe slot does it require?
The Archer TXE73E uses a PCIe x1 slot, which is available on virtually all modern desktop motherboards. It is also compatible with larger PCIe x4, x8, and x16 slots.
Does it fit in a small form factor (SFF) PC case?
Yes. A low-profile bracket is included in the box, making it compatible with compact and small form factor desktop cases alongside standard ATX builds.
