I get a strong signal at 5ghz even though the router is located 2 thick walls and a floor away. I should have known getting a 10gb card for les than £100 was too good to be true.

However i couldn’t get it past 4 or 5gb though, going from ramdisk to ramdisk, i’ve tried direct pc to pc, pc to switch to pc, and tested with all sizes of jumbo packets and could not get it anywhere near 10gb. If you can’t be bothered with link aggregating multiple 1gb links together, then yes it’s good just get a cheap 10gb switch and none of the fuss. If you’re in a situation where your time is very valuable, and need to make a problem wifi situation go away, throwing money at this solution is a very good bet, based on my limited sample experience of one solved use case. But you do get that external antenna block, and four high gain antennas to point around perpendicular to the aps around you. The broadcom wifi chip in this pcie card is actually supposed to power aps for conferences with thousands of wifi users. Ookla speedtest now reports 380mb/sec, which is close enough to the 400mb/sec available for me to be very happy with this purchase. However, despite this being a 100% ancient 11n wifi environment, this card connects to no less than three *separate* ubiquiti aps all about equidistant from this room, which is four 150 mbps 11n connections in total, achieving 600 mbps despite the ancient 11n environment. It is indeed very expensive for a desktop pc. However, all of the 11ac 3×3 or better pcie cards for pcs appear to be broadcom chipsets, so what i really liked about this asus one over the alternatives was the external wifi aerial block, with the high gain antennas. Bought this fellow, despite that it’s useless outside windows because of the broadcom wifi chipset. My intel 7260 11ac 2×2 wifi tried its best, but with its stubby aerials on the back of the pc, i couldn’t get much past 90mb/sec on a building connection of 400mb/sec no matter what i tried in terms of placement and aerial twiddling. Moved into a coworking space with ancient ubiquiti 11n (not 11ac) routers, into a room with thick stone walls. A bit expensive but hey ho you get what you pay for and this seems utter quality. I recommend connecting the supplied aerials to the exterior of pc or anywhere in open area. In my opinion my internet connection is just as fast using this card as before using cable so very pleased.

Once installed boot up the software and scan for signals and once completed select your service and enter your password key and it will then connect.

This is when you use the cd that comes with the adapter to install the software.

Put cover back on and boot up pc, your computer will most likely return a message saying ‘detected new hardware’ but may not install the drivers as at this stage there will be no internet connection. For those with little experience just open pc having removed power supply and look at motherboard for vacant slot, it’s like a key so pretty obvious how this fits. I found it very easy to fit but i would so having built my own pc. So ethernet cabled was no longer feesible and wifi was my only option and thought get good quality. Got this as had continuel internet drops so router had to be sited in the hall miles away from my media centre. Card is well recommended, i didn’t even had to connect external antennas. Connected to the computer and 200mbps straight away, in the same spot. Decided to send the card back and get this asus, which is similarly priced. Initially purchased tp-link archer ac1900 card based on countless good reviews on amazon, but after connecting were only getting between 80-120mbps (200mbps virgin media). I have recently moved my computer away from the router and had to use wifi to connect to internet. Its not cheap but ive always beleaved in you get what you pay for and the build quality doesnt disappoint, also the range is crazy, i could only detect my own and next doors wifi on my netgear adaptor, this asus adaptor is picking up 7-8 different sources with out breaking a sweat so if you pc is located in a poor wifi signal location then this is the card for you.

All i can say is it lives up to expectation, this card is no joke, the signal has stayed constantly at full reception, no drop outs or anything, webpages and vids load almost instantly with no delay or buffering which i was getting before. I purchased this model as my netgear usb wifi adaptor has served me well but i kept having issues with it occasionally having a week signal so i decided to bight the bullet and purchase this adator.
