Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

More about Wi-fi: The system unit is behind a pair of brick walls from the router, I would not want to place it anywhere else. In this regard, I would forgive the commented device for everything described below, but . the TP-Link TL-WN722N receiver for 700, inserted into USB 3.0, in any position of the antenna and system unit, in the same place gave a clear reception without loss . Ping above 100 ms to the server on the Internet skipped once for 200 packets. This same "miracle" without dancing with a tambourine gives only lags. After trying all sorts of options for setting the router, selecting channels, disabling and enabling the settings of the adapter itself, installing the latest and not so driver versions, disabling Bluetooth, I came to the conclusion that I wasted my money. All of the above manipulations give only a slight improvement in performance, but they are not capable of completely eliminating module diseases. Calling the router with the ping utility via cmd reveals depressing statistics: at 2.4 GHz there are almost no neighboring networks (I live in a private house, I periodically catch a neighbor on channel 1, but I set my router to 6, based on the ratio of received signal strength / connection quality) every third packet comes with a delay of 50 ~ 120 ms. Without dancing with a tambourine, it's even worse - delays of 100~600 ms make up 50% of the traffic, and 1~3% is steadily lost. I repeat, a USB receiver for 700 did nothing of the sort. I thought maybe two RX480s installed next to each other draw power, but they get it directly from the PSU. It's also impossible to say that they overload the chipset - the stream from them is processed directly by the processor. In any case, there is only one conclusion - I'm going back tomorrow, because it's impossible to use it. I took it "for growth", bribed the presence of Bluetooth and the 5 GHz band, but everything at once, as in the well-known joke about two out of three parameters, cannot be obtained, at least not here. screenshots are night, the load on the network is minimal. I don't even want to talk about how it was during the day.

Pros
  • There is both Wi-fi and Bluetooth; detachable antennas, replaceable module from Intel, black color of the board
Cons
  • For Bluetooth to work, it requires connection to the internal USB connector on the motherboard, to which two USB 2.0 ports could be connected. I have no shortage of them, but still for someone it can be critical. Yes, and it works doubtfully. Logitech K375s keyboard in Bluetooth mode intermittently stuck. If you connect a 2.4 GHz USB mouse receiver from the same Logitech nearby, then everyone starts to jam. But even after moving the mouse adapter to the port on the front panel, the keyboard continues to fall off. For comparison, when using the keyboard with the iPhone in Bluetooth mode, nothing of the kind was noticed, and in the USB-adapter mode, neither the keyboard nor the mouse interfere with each other, although the adapters are in adjacent ports. Wifi connection quality is poor.
