Review on πŸ”Œ MSI AX 200 WiFi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe Network Adapter Card with Long Range Wireless and MU-MIMO Support (Model: AX916C) by Brandy Young

Revainrating 1 out of 5

quick, easy to install. Requires an additional internal USB port on the internal motherboard

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. The Wi-Fi is very fast, after installation it went from 70 MB/s (with our 802.11ac at 600 MB/s) to 370 MB/s with this card. Our network peaks at around 440 on cable company test equipment. When downloading Forza, the download speed was 70-100 MB/s compared to the last Wi-Fi setting of 4-7 MB/s. You need to download the driver from the MSI website as you would for most optional peripherals. To do this, it was necessary to use the old Wi-Fi adapter, since the new one connected only after loading the driver.
