I'm trying to figure out which hardware version of my TP-Link Archer TXE75E I have (like V1 or V2). The box is gone, and I remember a sticker might have said V2, but I can't be sure. Is there a way to find this out without physically removing the card from my computer? I can't find any information on the Amazon page either. I'm specifically looking for the chipset hardware version.

Unfortunately, the hardware version (V1, V2, etc.) for TP-Link is usually only printed on the box or directly on the network card itself. If you don't want to take it out, your options are a bit limited. Here are a few things you could try:
1. Check Device Manager: Go to Properties and then Hardware IDs. Sometimes the PCI\VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx string is different for each revision, and you might be able to look that up to find your version.
2. Look at the TP-Link driver/utility package—sometimes the release notes can tell you what version it applies to.
3. If you're comfortable, you might try shining a flashlight into your PC to see if you can spot the sticker without fully removing the card; look near the bracket for a label that says "Ver:X.X."
As for chipset info, both V1 and V2 use the Intel AX210, so performance and features are the same for both versions. The version mainly affects driver and firmware support, not functionality.
I tried checking Device Manager, but I didn’t see anything that even mentioned TP-Link.
Thank you so much! I almost tossed the box and then realized I needed that info.
