Review on πŸ“Ά Upgrade to WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi Card for PC: Dual Band, BT 5.1, MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency – Windows 10 (64bit) compatible by Evan Zurlo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not even suitable as a paperweight.

I have been building PCs and in the industry for 20 years and this is the most disappointing hardware purchase I have ever made. To this day, I would have never thought that there could be so many problems with one product. First, let's start with what's immediately apparent upon opening the box: this is not a Bluetooth PCIe card. This is a WiFi PCIe card with a separate USB Bluetooth dongle physically attached to it, which requires an empty USB port on the motherboard to connect. If you connect it to a PC bought in a company store, you can just forget about it - Bluetooth is not necessary for you! The second thing I noticed was when I tried to test it anyway to install it. The card appears to have some sort of critical malfunction, as simply plugging it in causes the computer to crash every few seconds, usually before it even has a chance to boot. Thirdly, there is no driver CD and it is not compatible with Windows 10 out of the box. This is a network card for which you need to download the driver online. you do the math When you buy a wireless desktop PCIe card, could it be that you don't have a wired internet connection for your desktop computer? Not only have I been disappointed with this product failure so far; I'm mad at the people who made and sold it for wasting my time. At $40 for this useless item, they have to pay *me* to return it.

Pros
  • Convenient
