ASUS PCE-AX3000 - Network adapter

The ASUS PCE-AX3000 is a Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe adapter for desktop PCs. It installs into a motherboard PCI Express slot to provide a dedicated wireless connection. The card uses the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard to manage data traffic on modern networks, reaching combined transfer rates of up to 3000 Mbit/s across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This throughput supports file transfers and daily web browsing without the need for a wired connection.

In addition to wireless networking, the card includes Bluetooth 5.0 for pairing peripherals directly to the computer. Two external antennas mount to the rear bracket to establish the wireless signal. As this is a wireless-only device, it does not feature an Ethernet port for cabled connections. The card interfaces via a PCI Express 1.0 slot, which keeps exterior USB ports free. It is compatible with 64-bit Windows 10 and supported Linux distributions.
