Internal WLAN card ASUS PCE-AXE5400 — PCIe, Wi‑Fi 6E tri‑band (2.4/5/6 GHz), 2402 Mbps, Bluetooth 5.2

The ASUS PCE-AXE5400 is an internal WLAN PCI‑Express card that adds WiFi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.2 to desktop PCs. It supports tri‑band operation (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz), a maximum wireless data rate of 2402 Mbit/s on compatible links, and is designed to install in a PCI‑Express x1 slot. The adapter includes two external antennas for improved signal reception and supports modern network security with WPA3.

Advantages

The PCE-AXE5400 provides access to the new 6 GHz band, which offers additional 160 MHz channels and reduced congestion compared with legacy bands. With WiFi 6E and wide 160 MHz channels it can deliver significantly higher throughput than WiFi 5 devices. Integrated OFDMA and MU‑MIMO increase network efficiency and lower latency when multiple devices are active. The built‑in Bluetooth 5.2 delivers improved speed and range for peripherals, and WPA3 offers enhanced wireless security.

Suitable for

• High‑bandwidth gaming and livestreaming on desktop PCs
• Large file transfers and cloud backups over fast wireless links
• Homes and offices seeking less congested wireless channels using 6 GHz
• Connecting Bluetooth peripherals such as headsets, mice and keyboards

How to use

Power off the PC and insert the PCE-AXE5400 into an available PCI‑Express x1 slot or compatible PCIe slot. Secure the card, attach the external antennas, and power on the system. Install the driver and utility software provided by ASUS or via the operating system update service. After installation, connect to a WiFi 6E router to use the 6 GHz band, or connect to 2.4/5 GHz networks when needed. Pair Bluetooth devices through the system Bluetooth settings.

Recommendations

For best performance on the 6 GHz band use a compatible WiFi 6E router and enable 160 MHz channels where supported; ensure the adapter is installed in a PCI‑Express x1 slot as specified. To benefit from OFDMA and MU‑MIMO features, pair the card with a router that supports WiFi 6 functions. Keep drivers updated to maintain security and compatibility.
