Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ High-Speed Rosewill Wireless N300 PCI-E WiFi Adapter - Boost your PC's Network Speed with 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) PCI Express Network Card! by Balakrishna Monzon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

High quality and reliable card. Meets Rosewill's quality expectations.

High quality Wi-Fi adapter. The range is pretty solid and the speed is pretty fast. At my house, a suboptimal Wi-Fi scheme is preventing the laptops on my desk from connecting to my 5 GHz networks. This card with standard antennas can connect to a signal strong enough to achieve transfer rates in excess of 150Mbps, which is enough not to restrict my downstream internet. Apparently these antennas can be upgraded, although I haven't tried it. Make sure you get your drivers *before* installing the card on the board or you'll run into problems in Windows 10. Windows 10 automatic drivers are not enough. Please note that this card uses a PCIe x 1 slot. Many motherboard layouts place PCIe x1 slots directly below PCIe x 16 (graphics card) slots, which can block airflow to large or high-performance cards. It's not a problem on my board, although I wish it were two slots lower.
