Easy to install on his computer by my kid, he is a beginner. Although not visible in the picture, an additional connection is required; USB connector 9 pin to 9 pin. It took him about three minutes to figure it out, assuming it would look like a real USB connector, but it's actually a plug. This might be basic information for most people, but we don't spend much time in front of computers. The whole connection took less than five minutes, just make sure you have free space on your motherboard…

Pros
  • Gotcha!

DO NOT BUY ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

I'm surprised this is an MSI product, this device is either defective or a scam but based on the reviews here I'd say it's a mix of both. When I received this item it didn't "fit" properly in my Pavilion Slimline case so I went ahead and bent the top piece of metal knowing it was ONLY a piece of metal to fit and connect. When I booted to the desktop, I immediately installed the drivers. MSI did not have a support page for this article (only in a foreign language with a DEAD download link). If…

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Roughly

This is a pretty good Wi-Fi adapter. After you finally earn. Installed this on a new PC build with a fresh install of Windows 10. One of the things I didn't realize when I bought the adapter was that the PCI Express card also needs an internal USB connection - (connect from to PCI Express card ) It comes with a cable you need to do this. However, you may need to unplug another USB device from the motherboard to use it, as was the case in my case. ** The internal USB connector on the motherboard

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Something different

6/6/2020 DO NOT BUY. This "MSI HERALD-AX INTEL AX200NGW" was a downgrade for me. If I could go without stars, I would. I recently found that my system instability is due to having this Bluetooth card connected to my motherboard for the past 6 months. I thought it was because of hidden Win10 updates but no. From time to time [at least once a week] it would hang and screech like a stun gun in my speakers until it resets or due to a checksum and reboot it crashes instantly. Nowadays, performing…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Great upgrade! parts included, sorry no tl; DR.

Important: First of all, as another reviewer has pointed out, there is currently an issue with the supplied DISC being read correctly. I managed to get it to read once out of three attempts. It included things I personally found redundant, like a digital copy of the manual that's already included, and drivers (albeit outdated) for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality. Updated drivers for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth function can be found on the Intel website under AX200. Then there are the drivers on the…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
