I was using the built-in wifi on my computer, but it's not a strong one and the computer is in a cabinet. I set this up with the recommended Intel drivers. It's now three times faster on download speed tests and 20% faster on upload. However, I can't get 5G network to appear (my phone sees it). It only works on 2.4G. My phone and a wifi card I tried earlier this week both see the 5G. I tried uninstalling, clearing all windows temp and other files, and reinstalling, but no luck. I'm going to keep it because it's still a lot faster than the built in..
Daughter had friend build her a gaming computer from scratch. She neglected to have WiFi installed and can't do online gaming without it (teenagers! What can you do). Bought this hoping it was going to work since I know nothing about computers. I was able to install (a few swear words were used, due to my large fingers issue and not the items). Been installed just over 2 weeks now and she has had no issues and connects seamlessly.
Needed a quick and inexpensive solution for a temporary location in the house and am happy with what I received. Installation took under 2 minutes including the shutdown/boot times and Windows 10 build 1803 had the drivers loaded instantly upon the first boot. Getting over 100Mb down with some substantial LOS issues so I am happy enough with the performance. Haven't had a chance to test Linux kernel compatibility yet but I'll give it a tentative 5 stars.
Also included a low-profile bracket if you have such a chassis.
I had a room that can't get a signal. I tried getting a new router. That didn't work. I tried getting one of those wifi repeaters. That also didn't give me a signal. Finally, I got this and I actually got a signal. It's not as strong as directly next to the router, but I'm just happy to get a signal when nothing else worked. I've had this for a bit over a year and it's still working strong. All I can say is it's been good to me and I recommend it.
Installation was easy. Win 10 loaded the drivers without problems. However, like some of the other reviews for this card, it too had 5G issues. the 2.4G had better distance coverage, roughly twice the distance coverage. Had to adjust the antennas to get maximum speed. 30Mbps for the 2.4g and 124Mbps for the 5G. Note for testing my wireless router was 2 stories below the computer with this card installed.

Previously, I was using a TP-Link USB WiFi adapter that would overheat and drop connection after extended use. So I was in the market for a PCIe WiFi adapater that came with external antennas and would allow me to torrent and play games without dropping connection. This Feb Smart adapter works wonders and is worth the purchase in my opinion. My PC is situated 40-50 feet away from the router and the signal has to go through a wall. I connect on the 5Ghz channel and get connections of 100-130 mbps to my router. Simple to install and to get working.
It is adequate for gaming purposes as I get low pings (30-40ms) and a steady connection in games such as Overwatch and PUBG. Have not lost internet connection over several months of extended use like I did with my old TP-Link adapter which would drop connection once a week due to heavy torrent use.
I bought this when my wife and I moved and I couldn’t have the desktop hardwired to the modem any more. It arrived quickly and installed easily. There was a disk for install, but it seemed to work just fine. About a week after installing it, my router crapped out on me and we ended up getting a “mesh net” that allowed me to hardware my computer again, but while I was using the card it worked great.
This unit took only a few minutes to install and it solved my problem. It works very well. I would buy from this seller again. It comes with a 3 antenna array and the base is magnetic, which worked out great for me. It was an unexpected help when it came to mounting the antennas. I would buy from this seller again also.Excellent product.
After trying several dinky USB dongles, to no avail, I bought this, and now have a good wi-fi connection to the modem 50 feet away, upstairs, and through 3 walls. Installed easily in the PCIe slot on my 5 yr old Win 10 PC. Nice thick cords to the three prong antenna. Very pleased!
Would buy again, easy installation. Has worked since day one with excellent range through walls in a 100 year old house. Use a wifi extender for the connection which is on the other side of the room through a wall. Never missed a beat
