TP-Link Archer TX10UB Nano Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 PC Adapter Drops to $23

Reported by Slickdeals, TechBargains

Amazon is selling the TP-Link Archer TX10UB Nano, a small USB adapter that adds Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 to a desktop PC, for $23. Slickdeals reported the offer on 9 November 2026, and TechBargains followed on 10 November. Both outlets give the same price, so the reports agree on the deal itself.

The device is a dual-band Wi-Fi adapter in the AX900 class. The product listing gives a combined maximum of 900 Mbps. The two bands are rated separately at 287 Mbps and 600 Mbps. The listing calls these maximum physical link rates. It says real throughput, coverage and the number of connected devices are not guaranteed. They depend on the network, the router, building materials, obstacles and traffic.

The Bluetooth part is aimed at game controllers, headphones, keyboards and similar accessories. The listing says the Bluetooth function works only with a PC. It is not compatible with Mac, Linux, TV, or Windows Vista, 8 and 7. Controllers such as PS4 or Xbox pads can be used on the PC, but the adapter should not be used directly with those consoles. Users who already have built-in Bluetooth must disable it before using this device. The built-in Wi-Fi adapter may also need to be turned off to avoid conflicts, depending on the setup.

For Wi-Fi, the adapter supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO. According to the listing, these features let more devices connect to a compatible router at the same time. The device also supports WPA3, the newer Wi-Fi security protocol. The listing says it works with Wi-Fi 6 and newer routers for the multi-device features. The adapter comes with drivers preloaded, so users only need to plug it in. The listing names Windows 11 and Windows 10 as supported systems.

The unit is small, measuring 0.76 x 0.62 x 0.29 inches. The listing gives an operating temperature range of 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity range of 10 to 90 percent, non-condensing. It lists FCC and CE certifications. According to the listing, TP-Link has signed the Secure-by-Design pledge run by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The sources do not give any independent test results for the adapter's speeds.

The deal affects people with desktop PCs that lack built-in Wi-Fi 6 or Bluetooth 5.3, or that sit far from the router. It can also suit a PC used as a home server, a controller for home automation software, or a machine that pairs Bluetooth devices. Slickdeals says shipping is free with Amazon Prime or on orders of $35 or more. Neither report gives an end date for the price, and neither says whether $23 is a record low for this model.

The reports also differ slightly in focus. Slickdeals covers the price and the shipping condition in a short note. TechBargains repeats the product page content, including features and compatibility limits, and lists other adapters from different brands with their prices in euros. Those other listings are not part of this deal. The sources do not say how long the Amazon price will last or how many units are in stock.

Before buying, check the router and the PC. The multi-device gains need a Wi-Fi 6 router and a matching adapter. If the PC already has Bluetooth, disable it first. Confirm that the PC runs Windows 10 or 11, because the listing names only those versions. Buyers who need Bluetooth on a Mac or Linux machine should look for a different device, since this one does not support those systems.
