Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Ubit Wireless Network WiFi Card Dual Band AC1200Mbps BT 4.0 Card: Gigabit Adapter for Desktop PC by Richard Cunningham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Instructions not included

It's a pity to only give this device 4 stars as it suits my needs perfectly but there are NO instructions in the box. Visiting their website (all in Chinese until I clicked translate) was useless. Didn't find anything there either. However, if you've ever downloaded and installed a driver, it shouldn't matter much. I just installed it into a full-length open PCIE slot on an AMD computer running Windows 7 Pro. Definitely not plug and play. Actually it found the Bluetooth drivers are ok but not from the WiFi side. You will need to run the included small USB power cable from the card to the exposed USB port on your mobile phone. I had an open one within reach so that wasn't a problem. You're better off if you can provide an internet connection to the device you're inserting this card into. In my case there is a built in ethernet port that I could use (bought a card so I don't have to chain CAT 5 from across the room). I got the driver from the Intel support site. Once installed, connecting to my local SSID and unplugging the ethernet cable was a breeze. Note: If this card is your only option for connecting to the Internet, you can download the driver from another computer, download it to a USB drive, and install it from the USB stick on the target computer. I haven't tested the bluetooth function yet. Will update this review if there are any issues with it or anything else.

Pros
  • Computer and accessories
Cons
  • Waiting too long
