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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

but it's really annoying for a product of this price/quality

: ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter (PCE-AC68) Installation: Win 10, Netgear R7000P-100NAS Router PC is 1 room from Router removed and separated by drywall with no door Results: Signal -58dBm, Average Speed: 877.5Mbps "EDIT: Just noticed that all the reviews on this page are a mix of different models. I'm sure everyone feels the same way Speaking of driver issues. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit and found it quite easy. Contrary to some comments, Windows did not yet have a driver for the card. However, I just inserted the CD that came with it and installed ASUS WLAN Control Center/drivers. Windows immediately grabbed the map and began searching for open networks. The Control Center had a very user-friendly graphical interface that allows you to view available SSIDs and monitor your current connection in real time. (It consumes a small amount of RAM, but there is no need to run it after installation). My only complaint, which on the whole is a small one that I know of but really annoying for a value for money product, is that there is no mounting screw for the card! I think they think most people have a holder in an empty slot cover, but in my case slot covers are used so I didn't. Also, none of my loose screws in my toolbox fit, so my map is currently held by a twisted bread bag! Strange. until it detaches from the pull of the external antenna cables and the card pops out and lands on my GPU.

Pros
  • Special heatsink dissipates heat for more stable and reliable continuous operation. Operating Temperature: 0Β°C to 40Β°C (Β°F to ΒΊF)
Cons
  • Reliability
