Great hopes shattered on the rocks!

TLDR; This is rubbish, don't waste your time like me. I'm an IT professional with 20 years of experience and had high hopes for this card. It has received good reviews on several sites. As soon as it arrived my computer was ripped and waiting. Above all. I didn't connect the USB cable from the card to the USB port on the motherboard because I didn't need Bluetooth. I do not need that. The map couldn't find a network while I was sitting 10 feet from the hotspot. So I figured maybe a bluetooth connection and drivers should be required so I disassembled the computer again and plugged in the jumper, reinstalled the drivers and connected for about 10 seconds. After several attempts I went to another computer and downloaded the latest drivers. Fingers crossed I uninstalled the old drivers, rebooted, reinstalled the new drivers and rebooted. I connected for about 25 seconds and then saw no networks again. I rebooted and connected for about 20 seconds, then the connection dropped and there were no wireless networks again. I had two laptops next to a PC that connected to my access point with no problems (like I said it was about 10 feet away). I fixed some bugs and found that it was getting the right address from the DHCP server. I was able to connect to my gateway but couldn't ping anything else on the internal network. I couldn't go online either. Trying to fix bugs for 25-30 seconds between reboots was getting annoying, so I decided to pack it back and ask for a refund.
