TP-Link TX55E Reviews

Works Well On Linux

Put this in a Dell 7050SFF running Debian Trixie. Simple install with a slight mod to the connector to work on an old USB spare connection. Haven't tried the bluetooth yet due to some OS issues. Wifi is strong and running at 800mbps. Solid card with solid performance.

The card has regular and low profile brackets. You will need a Philips ph1 screwdriver to remove the screws and a needle nose pliers to remove the nut and washer. It took me about 10-15 minutes to convert from regular to low profile bracket. This adapter uses an intel chipset so compatibility is not a problem but for best results use windows 11.
