Review on πŸ”Œ Asus PCE-AC68 Wi-Fi PCI Express Adapter by Douglas Irwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buyers who claim poor quality most likely have no experience with network configurations.

This wireless adapter was installed on my M5A97 motherboard and I've had it for about a year. I now connect to the internet through Netgear Nighthawk AC3200 x6. and didn't have to deal with it at all. I am consistently gaining 1.3 Gbps. and sometimes it can drop to 876Mbps due to heavy traffic. It's up one floor from the router and across from a wall crammed with electrical components for the television, blue ray, surround sound receiver, speakers, two outlets (one filtered), a phone jack, two ethernet cables. , mini-fridge, as well as coaxial cables for cable TV, either in the wall or directly in front of it. I have signal strength and speed that never drops except on the 5G band which drops due to band (causing it to switch from 1.3Gbps to 876). Customers complaining of poor quality are most likely inexperienced with network setup, as it involves more than just pressing the WPS button on the router.

Pros
  • USB Network Adapter
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...
