Good Wi-Fi but with ridiculously long antennas

The first thing you'll notice about this Wi-Fi adapter is the ridiculously long antennas. It's almost like watching TV with bunny ears again. Except these antennas transmit a lot more data than these rabbit ears. Sure, my home internet speed isn't fast enough to fill this card completely, but this card can handle a hardwired connection to my desktop. Installation was pretty easy. Plugged it into the PCIe x1 slot, plugged in the USB to Bluetooth connector, rebooted the machine and it worked! (It's worth noting that I installed the Intel AX200 drivers before installing this card). Bluetooth showed up in my settings as expected with no special actions. Speed tests show no difference when browsing the web compared to a wired connection, except maybe a little more latency, but nothing noticeable when browsing or streaming. The antennas are long enough that I have to route them around my graphics card's outputs. I'm not sure if there's any signal interference due to the proximity to my video cables, but I haven't noticed it yet. It was just a nice, lightweight upgrade for my desktop.
