TP-Link Archer TX20UH AX1800 High Gain Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter
The TP-Link Archer TX20UH is a Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter for desktop and laptop computers that adds fast wireless connectivity to older PCs or devices without built-in Wi-Fi 6 support. It combines dual-band Wi-Fi 6 speeds up to 1800 Mbps with USB 3.0 connectivity and adjustable high-gain antennas to pull strong signals from distant routers.
Why this product
Wi-Fi 6 speeds to 1800 Mbps
Reaches 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz using the 802.11ax standard, with backward compatibility for older Wi-Fi standards.
High-gain antennas with Beamforming
Two adjustable antennas concentrate Wi-Fi signals toward your router for stronger reception at distance, reducing dead zones.
OFDMA and MU-MIMO support
These Wi-Fi 6 technologies allow multiple devices on your network to share bandwidth efficiently, reducing lag during gaming and streaming.
USB 3.0 for fast data transfer
Connects at up to 4.8 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, making it 10 times faster than USB 2.0 standards.
WPA3 security
The latest Wi-Fi security protocol protects against brute-force attacks and keeps your personal data encrypted on the network.

- The 1.2-meter USB 3.0 cable allows positioning the adapter away from your computer for better antenna placement and signal reception.
- Wi-Fi 6 features including OFDMA and MU-MIMO require a Wi-Fi 6 compatible router; older routers will fall back to 802.11ac or 802.11n speeds.
- Pre-loaded drivers simplify installation on most systems, but driver downloads may be needed for some less common operating systems.
Best for
- Gaming on older PCs without Wi-Fi 6
- HD streaming and large file downloads over distance
- Home offices in rooms far from the router
- Upgrading desktop connectivity without replacing the machine
Trade-offs
- Laptops with built-in Wi-Fi 6 — adding a USB adapter when your device already has wireless is redundant.
- Networks without Wi-Fi 6 routers — you'll fall back to older standards and won't see the full speed benefit.
- Computers with only USB 2.0 ports — the adapter works but you lose USB 3.0's speed advantage.
TX20UH delivers powerful dual band WiFi 6 straight to your device for exceptional connectivity and speed up to 1800 Mbps.
The multi-angle adjustable high-gain antennas combine with Beamforming to concentrate WiFi signals towards your router for better reception and reliable connections from far away.
Experience flawless streams, gameplay, and uploads while your network simultaneously processes bandwidth for multiple devices.
Working with a compatible router, your PC receives data at the same time as other devices on the same stream. This means next-to-nothing lag for video and games.
Experience blazing-fast data transfers of up to 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0 — the latest USB connectivity standard. USB 3.0 transfers data up to 10x faster than USB 2.0 and is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Combined with 802.11ac Wi-Fi, USB 3.0 makes Archer TX20UH ideal for HD streaming, online gaming and large file downloads.
A 1.2-meter USB 3.0 cable makes it easy to find a spot for the Archer TX20UH in your workspace, and the adapter can be effortlessly attached removed from your computer as needed.
TX20UH comes with its driver pre-loaded. Just plug and install.
WPA3 encryption protects your PC from brute-force attacks, keeping your personal data safe.
