For larger houses, sometimes the distance of a desktop PC to the router is too far for an Ethernet cable, or sometimes you just don't want to have unsightly cables around. That's when you use a Wi-Fi adapter like ASUS' latest PCE-AC88. There's a lot to like about the PCE-AC88, like the packaging.
Pros:
- Flexible placement
- Great reception
- Faster speeds
Cons:
- Needs an AC router to perform well

Pros:
- 8 Ports
- Tons of features
Cons:
- Connection / Broadcast Problems

"Amazing"
As always, Asus has provided yet another amazing product that exceeds expectations (my last router was the Asus RT-AC66U). Definitely worth the asking price, especially if you have UFB!
