Yes, the wireless functions of the TP-Link Archer TBE550E will work without an F-USB connection on the motherboard. The F-USB connection is only required for Bluetooth functionality.
Bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Color requires the AP and PC OS to also support the corresponding features. Certain features of Archer TBE550E, such as Bluetooth 5.4, may be restricted on some computing systems § and platforms. Please try to update the device’s driver for feature compatibility.
