Review on Gigabyte GC CI22M_A CNVi Wireless AC Upgrade by Jesse Bailey

My slim Dell Optiplex SFF didn't have wireless capability. When looking for a wireless card, I found that my PC uses an M2 card, so I bought a Gigabyte GC-CI22M wireless adapter. Cons first: There is no M2 set screw in the kit but there should be as it is required for installation. Second, the only expansion slot plate they give you is for a standard sized PC. That's too high for a thin PC. I cut out a large board that fits into the slot on the back of the computer case. These 2 negative points are worth one star. To the performance. My ISP is wireless and has a top speed of around 20m/s, so I can't judge the top speed. I pulled out about 25m/s on the speed test. Not bad considering the radio tower is about 500 meters away and limited by the ISP. I was able to connect quickly on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Bluetooth worked right away. The installation disc also correctly updated my settings and shortcuts for Win 10. There is no third party software here. Screen mirroring connects flawlessly, the stream is clean with no buffering. I am very happy with the performance of the Intel M2 card. The Intel Wireless-AC 9560, M.2 2230, 2X2 Ac+Bt, Gigabit is a very fast card with the Mimo technology required for serious streaming. You definitely won't be disappointed with the performance.
