†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, AP limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and AP location.
‡Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and other features including 320 MHz Bandwidth, 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Color requires the AP and PC OS to also support the corresponding features.
§Certain features of Archer TBE552E, such as Bluetooth 5.4, may be restricted on some computing systems and platforms. Please try to update the device's driver for feature compatibility.
△The 320 MHz bandwidth is only available on the 6 GHz band. The 320 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 160 MHz bandwidth on the 5 GHz band may be unavailable in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Double channel width and speed refer to 320 MHz compared to 160 MHz for Wi-Fi 6 adapters.
*Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's PCI Express Interface, Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, internet service provider factors, operating system factors, and other environmental conditions.
