  • MAJOR Difference and a must buy!
Like most, I read the reviews extensively on almost all products dealing with my computer. I got mixed feelings when combing through the reviews for this product. I saw a lot of good reviews and also saw a lot of bad reviews. This made me kind of weary when purchasing this product because it seemed so many people were having problems with getting this NAC to work. Here is my take on this product after installing it yesterday. Installation: 5 Stars The installation for this product was extremely easy. I powered off the entire computer and unplugged the power cord from the power supply. I had a X1 PCIe port on my ASUS B450-F Gaming motherboard and I simply snapped in the card, then tightened the screw on the rear of the computer. That was it. Super simple and not difficult at all. After it was installed, I plugged the power source to the power supply then powered the computer back on. Driver: 5 Stars I saw mixed reviews about the drivers missing or difficult to download. I did NOT have to download drivers for the NAC. When I powered the computer back on it automatically recognized the NAC and showed on my available networks. However just to be sure, I navigated to device manager and ensured it populated in the window. I went ahead and clicked update driver to see if I had the latest and greatest driver and it was already installed. I am running Windows 10 and the drivers were no issue. Ping, Download and Upload: 5 Stars The ping before installing this NAC was ok. I was running about a 25MBps ping and you can play most FPS games. After installation, the lowest ping I received was 13. This is a huge difference from my previous ping and did not experience any lag when playing for extended periods of time. My previous download speeds were around 40MBps which is not bad, but when other people are using the same wifi it can make gaming somewhat difficult. After installing the NAC, my ping went to around 111 to 125 MBps. This is a SIGNIFICANT jump and could tell the difference when playing. Upload speeds held steady around 5.8 to 6 MBps. This didn't change much from my previous setup, but did increase a little. You are able to stream in HD a little better with this upload speed if that is what you are going for. My router is located on the second level of my house and of course if I moved closer I would get even better results. I am pretty content with what I am getting so no need for that. I did play around a little bit between the 5Ghz and 2.5Ghz settings for the driver switching the 802.11 options around, but the default option gave me the fastest speeds for my setup. Bluetooth: 3 Stars This is where the product could improve and where some of the reviews were negative. The supplier needs to elaborate on needing a USB internal slot for the Bluetooth to be functional. I felt this was a downfall of not informing the customer of this and also the NAC not having the capability to draw power from the PCIe slot it is placed in. I only have two slots available on my motherboard and both are occupied for use with my pc. Although, most NACs require the use of the USB port in order for you to use the Bluetooth. I gave 3 stars for the lack of communication from the supplier. I don't have many uses for the Bluetooth except for my gaming mouse, but since I am a FPS gamer I need a more reliable connection. Honestly, if you do not need the Bluetooth stick with the basic option. Bluescreen: I did not experience a BSD (Blue screen of Death) or had to reload Windows. I am not saying that some people did not receive a BSD when installing this product. I think it is very possible that could happen. The software driver installed on the product can and will give you a BSD, but that is not the case with every NAC that they sell. If this happens I suggest doing the following: 1: Click "Start | Control Panel | View Network Status and Tasks | Change Adapter Settings." 2: Right-click "Local Area Connection" if the error occurs when attempting to connect to a wired network. Right-click "Wireless Network Connection" if the error occurs when attempting to connect to a wireless network. 3: Select "Properties" from the context menu. Click "Configure" and then select the "Driver" tab. 4: Click "Uninstall." Click "OK" to remove the network adapter from the computer. 5: Restart the computer. Windows will reinstall the original network adapter to the PC This is an honest review on the product when installed on my computer and using my setup. I did not receive any royalties from this company for writing this review. My purpose is to provide customers like myself a great review to ease the anxiety of purchasing products when there are some grey areas. I would recommend this product to other people for a better experience in overall connectivity with the internet. Overall: This is a great product and as mentioned previously I would recommend to other people looking for a better experience in internet connectivity. This greatly improved my overall connection and I am happy with the product. Is this the best card that you could buy? No, but is a great budget card that will give you a boost. The only drawback is the Bluetooth option and having to occupy a USB internal slot on your motherboard. I believe the manufacturer could develop a more efficient board and also the supplier to elaborate of needing a USB port for the Bluetooth to function. ... show more

  • Worked Great for Me
I built a "new" computer using some parts from a couple of slightly older computers. After installing windows 10 and getting everything set up, it was having very strange and very poor wired Internet connection (with 500mb FiOS internet). Upgraded to Windows 11, made sure all my drivers were up to date, uninstalled network driver and reinstalled, tried different cables, etc. None of that improved Internet performance. So I decided to try this card out instead of continuing troubleshooting. In my case, I had no issues with it whatsoever. Turned off the computer, installed card and connected cable (for Bluetooth) to USB header, powered the computer back up, and everything just worked. I never had to put the included cd in the computer or load drivers manually. Internet connection greatly improved and now performs as it should. Bluetooth connectivity was another great selling point for me and it also works flawlessly. We'll see how it performs over time, but right now I'm a happy camper. ... show more

  • Probably the best value "safe" card, but instructions not very good
I'll try to keep it brief. I like the TP-Link brand, and I have bought some of their products before. I wanted a reliable PCIe Wi-Fi card for a new computer build. I got scared off by some negative reviews on cheaper cards. I would have preferred WiFi6, but this WiFi5 model was a better value and I figured real-world differences will be minimal for what I am going to use it for. I needed to switch to the low-profile bracket (it comes installed to the larger bracket by default). Here's my complaint: there were absolutely zero instructions included on how to disassemble the card as provided, and I could not find anything online from the official source. Even for me, this was a head-scratcher for a solid 20 minutes. Then, I dug into past reviewer comments, and by luck, I found one complaining about this and that an 8mm socket wrench worked perfectly. This immediately made sense to me (wasn't possible to screw off with fingers), and I was able to grab my socket set and do it in 2 minutes. However, it is absurd that this isn't mentioned at all in the instructions. Considering the size of the packaging, other included items, and the price....a socket tool of some sort should probably just be included (I know a lot of people don't have them on hand). So far the card is working well, and I am happy I bought it, but I think the instruction problems and install time are enough to put many people off (then again, most devices have Wi-Fi built in, and people can just use the easier USB dongles instead of these cards). ... show more

  • Incredibly easy to instal and super fast wifi speed
Wow, I was debating whether or not to buy this or a long 50ft Ethernet cable. Went with this and do not regret my choice at all! It literally took me 1min from unboxing to installing it into my newly built PC. One of the best things about it is that it didn’t even require drivers updates. It came with a CD and also a link for the drivers (in case you didn’t have a CD rom like me). Not needed whatsoever. As soon as I started my PC it recognized my wifi network. All I had to do is put in my password and boom. First thing I did is to test the speed. It gave me 300Mbps which is pretty incredible. So glad I went with this purchase instead of the USB wifi dongle or Ethernet cable. Buy this, won’t regret it! ... show more

  • Amazing!
I have an old Dell XPS desktop for light gaming and work that is still kicking, but is running slow. I wanted to upgrade the wifi and see if that would help, and what a difference! Games run much better and downloads are much faster. The card was easy to install, though I did see that I had the connection nearby for bluetooth, but it was occupied and I'm not tech savvy enough to figure out whether it is a critical connection. Plus I don't really use BT so it's not an issue. overall a great product! ... show more
