ASUS PCE-BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 PCIe Adapter

The ASUS PCE-BE6500 is a Wi-Fi 7 PCIe adapter that brings tri-band wireless connectivity to a desktop through a simple PCIe x1 slot. Capable of delivering a combined throughput of up to 6452 Mb/s across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, it lets a Windows 11 system tap into the latest 802.11be standard for faster downloads, smoother 4K or 8K streaming, and more responsive online gaming.

This adapter suits anyone who wants gigabit-class wireless in a workspace where running an Ethernet cable is difficult or impossible. Home gamers can enjoy low-latency matches, while creative professionals gain the bandwidth needed for large cloud backups and real-time collaboration. Remote workers benefit from stable video calls even when multiple devices share the network.

Two detachable external antennas help you position the signal for the best possible reception, and MU-MIMO support allows the router and adapter to communicate with several devices at the same time without congestion. Built-in Bluetooth 5.4 means you can pair controllers, headsets, or keyboards without a separate dongle, freeing up USB ports and reducing desk clutter.

Security is handled by WPA3, the newest Wi-Fi encryption protocol, which keeps personal data safer when you connect to modern routers. Installation is straightforward: insert the card into an available PCIe x1 slot, attach the antennas, and load the drivers on a 64-bit version of Windows 11 to unlock full functionality.
