ASUS PCE-AXE5400 - Wireless network adapter

The ASUS PCE-AXE5400 Wi‑Fi 6E PCIe adapter adds wireless connectivity to desktop computers. This internal network card fits directly into an available PCI Express motherboard slot. It supports the Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) standard for high-bandwidth data, offering peak transfer rates of 2402 Mbit/s. This provides a reliable internal alternative to external USB adapters.

Integrated Bluetooth 5.2 allows the PC to connect directly to wireless peripherals such as headphones or keyboards. The card operates across three frequency bands—2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz—to reduce local interference. The adapter requires a PC running 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. Note that this component does not provide Ethernet LAN functionality. The 49.7 g design helps prevent physical strain on the motherboard slot.
