Not for me. - Computers and accessories

Installation wasn't easy. They give you a CD (great if you have a CD) but not everyone has one. I have Windows 8.1 and it wasn't automatically detected, I had to manually search for the software and it wasn't on their website, it took too long to find and install.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Great Wi-Fi card but no Bluetooth

Installed this Wi-Fi card on my main desktop computer. It works well. It's much faster than what I had on my computer before. This allows me to connect to Wi-Fi without using a long Ethernet cable. The light green color is a bit ugly compared to the rest of my system (which is matte black). This Wi-Fi card does not have Bluetooth.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Fair

Windows 10 driver required!

For this money the WiFi fee is pretty good. The only reason for 4 stars was that the installation guide is a bit confusing. It says that Windows 10 does not need a driver to be installed, but I needed to install a driver. After installation it works great. Very fast. I installed it on an old computer that I gave away. The motherboard only had one PCI-e slot (video card slot) so I installed it in the front of the slot and it works fine. By the way, it automatically connected to Linux Mint. Iโ€ฆ

Works in newer towers

It must be installed in the computer like any other PCI-E card (e.g. a graphics card). It wouldn't fit my old play tower, but it did fit my new tower. It picks up a Wi-Fi signal well and seems to be working well so far.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Neutral

Just plug in and get started!

No drivers to install. I had to change the PCIE bracket cover from a taller bracket to a shorter one, but it was as easy as using a small Phillips screwdriver to switch the card. The antenna screws weren't attached to the slots in the cover, but once you thread the detachable plastic antennas onto the screws, they're fairly tight and unmovable. Connected to Wi-Fi and immediately found my 5 Gz network! My computer connects lightning fast and much better than the cheap dongle that came with myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Available in black only

Weak signal reception. My USB stick worked better.

I confess that I was looking forward to installing this PCI-E card after I received it because I have been using the DWA-140 wireless USB adapter for about 4 years D-Link lagged on my main system. It worked fairly well, although it was a cheap adapter and limited by the Wireless N, its transfer rate was limited; Limitations imposed by both the USB interface and its own specifications. That should change with the advent of the LinksTek Wireless AC PCI-E Wi-Fi card. The adapter card comes in aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
