Review on 📶 ASUS PCE-AC68: Dual-Band AC1900 PCIe WiFi Adapter with Heat Sink and Magnetic Antenna Base for Enhanced Coverage by Jesse Azuse

Part I: When moving from one ISP to another, the new network operator used a wireless base station instead of Ethernet. I wasn't thrilled with this as I prefer a wired connection but decided to try this Asus adapter on my desktop PC. After installing the card, antenna and software, I launched it and the provided application immediately found my ISP's network. I logged in and BOOM: Connected, sure. Speed was generally comparable to a cable, although there could be occasional glitches with prolonged use. Considering I'm almost 60 feet from the WAP, that's not bad. Part II: A few months later I went back to my old ISP. Not because of the radio, but because of the incessant lies. With my old ISP I was able to use my own router (NetGear NightHawk) configured my way (no corporate SSIDs). I still use WiFi throughout the house and everything works great. This adapter in particular is pretty fast, pulling 200MB down and 35MB/s on Ookla. Part III: My only criticism isn't really Asus, it's Windows. A recent Windows update has broken the provided wireless network management application. The wireless connection still works fine, I'm just unable to use some of the advanced features in Manager. I'm not sure who should fix this, but I think I do (thinking of YOU, Microsoft). Overall very happy with this device. Long range, high speed, easy to set up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
