I installed the card fairly easily (didn't need a cable to connect to my PSU as the power cord was the same black connector I used instead I was able to connect directly. I tried the software and was a little confused by what I saw as it seemed to have drivers for the network adapter, USB devices, USB controllers and something else I wasn't sure if I needed the install it at all since I'm using Windows 10. I tried to install the software but it seems like it got stuck halfway through the install so when I finally canceled it I still wanted my system reboot to apply something - something that got me going anyways i bought a usb 3.0 wifi adapter which claims giga bit (@ 800mb or so to use with 5gz and usb 3.0) and on my timewarner saying to get 200mb I only see 100mb download and @ 20mb download. I'm doing all this whoops in preparation for Google Fiber so I really don't know if it's working as expected or not. At Timewarner it is not yet. Is it a card, driver, router, service provider, or something else entirely? Sigh. Anyway, I'll save the map and see how Google Fibers run.
