Review on πŸ“Ά ASUS PCE-AC68: Dual-Band AC1900 PCIe WiFi Adapter with Heat Sink and Magnetic Antenna Base for Enhanced Coverage by Jerardo Phi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Long term test - bought 2016

I had this on my Custom Made Gaming PC with Intel Skylake i7 6700k built in 2016. Until recently I had very few issues with the Wi-Fi adapter. When transferring data, it got loud with a hiss and I got error messages on the screen because software was making my computer unusable over Wi-Fi. I uninstalled the software and it worked again but still made a little noise when transferring data. I'm pretty sure my card is nearing the end of its lifespan, but according to Asus the warranty period, which started on the day of purchase, has long since expired. I've now upgraded to a newer system with built-in Wi-Fi 6. I would buy this Wi-Fi card again if I had a motherboard that didn't have it. Yes I had issues but that was after over 4 years of daily use. (8+ hours a day) and in that time never had any reliability issues. Elements wear out over time and I got my money's worth with this adapter.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Minor issues
