FAQs
What is WiFi 6E and why do I need it?
WiFi 6E is the latest WiFi standard that utilizes a new 6 GHz frequency band. This band is less congested than the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, offering higher speeds, lower latency, and improved performance, especially in crowded wireless environments. It is beneficial for demanding applications like online gaming, VR, and 8K streaming.
Do I need a WiFi 6E router to use this card?
To fully experience the benefits of WiFi 6E, including access to the 6 GHz band and the highest speeds, you will need a WiFi 6E compatible router. However, the card can still connect to WiFi 6, 5, and older networks using their respective bands.
What is the purpose of the external transceiver?
The external transceiver allows you to position the antennas away from the PC's internal components, which can cause interference. The adjustable antennas and magnetized base enable optimal placement for the best possible signal reception and coverage.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The maximum data transfer rate is 2402 Mbps on the 6 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band.
Does this card support Bluetooth?
Yes, the ASUS PCE-AXE59BT includes Bluetooth 5.2, which provides faster transmit speeds and a longer range compared to older Bluetooth versions.
What operating systems are supported?
This card officially supports Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit).
Will this card fit in any PCI-Express slot?
No, this card is designed to fit in a PCI-Express x1 slot. Ensure you have an available x1 slot on your motherboard.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 3-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
WiFi or Bluetooth not detected after installation
Ensure the motherboard USB cable is securely connected to both the PCE-AXE59BT card and the motherboard USB header. Verify that the correct drivers have been installed for both WiFi and Bluetooth.
Slow WiFi speeds or intermittent connection
Reposition the antennas using the external transceiver for better signal reception. Ensure your router is compatible with WiFi 6E and is updated to the latest firmware. Check for interference from other electronic devices and try connecting to a different WiFi band (5 GHz or 2.4 GHz) if 6 GHz is problematic.
Bluetooth devices not pairing or connecting
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled in your operating system settings. Reinstall the Bluetooth drivers. Try moving the Bluetooth device closer to the PC and ensure there are no obstructions.
Driver installation fails
