Having read this review, and my grandson having fitted this same card in his PC I can say that it works perfectly on full strength, one floor up & 2 rooms over, from the TP Link 300 MBps router in an old, solid brick house. Maybe your router is not up to the task, Anon

This card will work fine if you're close to your router, in my old flat I was about 3m away and separated by a single wall. It worked great. At my next house I'm about 8m away, and there's a few brick walls in the way. It gets 2–3 bars, but speeds of about 0.2 Mbps.

Another con I ran into was the driver issue. It's not such a big issue since it did come with its own Driver CD, but at the same time we're getting into Windows 8 now and it would just be easier if we never had to install another driver again..

If you want to free up some PCI slots or if you have the latest motherboards that only have PCI Express slots (and none of the PCI slots); in my opinion; this is an ok wireless card to have.

First con; although they classify this wireless card at 300Mbps, I never really got up to that speed in downloads and uploads. In my tests, I was not able to get a reliable connection even over 100Mbps. It fluctuated between 48Mbps and 72Mbps, nothing more.

Official drivers do not support Windows 10. Uses a generic driver that does not allow for faster speed and throuput. Currently seeing 30Mbps when my router supports over 100+Mbps download.

The heading says the half review. The other half answers the question "why to buy this module when I can get USB wifi for ?350-500??" If your usage is just browsing the web and watching the videos or have laptop which has nothing like pci slot and/or lack the , this isnt for u..

Fairly easy to install, working just fine with my wifi. No laggin or anything. I just wish these wifi pci ‘s didn't have the ugly antenna but I know why it needs it. It's just an eyesore. But this does everything it needs to do at a reasonable price. Very happy with it.

Easily find the network at home, no problem yet

what to say it's a network card; simple to setup; cheap price

none

Sometimes my internet will be slow, but I'm on the other side of my house from the router so I'm the one to blame here. It is very good, very easy to install, and a nice WIFI card for the measely $20.

Fits easily into PCI-E slot into motherboard. Then install the software from the disk and your done.

Great Product; Easy installation.

No Problems yet

This network adapter does work with windows 8, i am using it on my desktop computer. Windows will install the drivers automatically.
