Ever since I installed this new Wifi card into my PC, my entire gaming crew has begun commenting about how efficiently my hamster wheel internet has been running. I told them that it's 'cause it has four arms!

Tower is unfortunately too far from router to hardwire, so this was next best option. Came recommended from a friend and it has not disappointed. Minimal effort to install, and has yet to let me down. Would recommend in a heartbeat *I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback

Never installed a wifi card before. The one I purchased this one to replace is constantly dropping signals. Nothing else on the network has issues. I opened the box and followed the directions. In 10 minutes, I had it working on a Windows 10 desktop. It's ran flawless ever since. This is the fastest this computer has ever ran while on the network. I should have done this when I first noticed it dropping signal. I will be purchasing another to install on my network CPU I use to store movies and games on. If you are looking for a wifi card, buy this. It won't disappoint and if I can install it, you can too.

I've been using this network adapter for a year and haven't had any problems with it. I can hold a wireless connection consistently and the strength is very close to a hardwired connection (maybe as little as 3mbps less on 130mbps total). I love the look of the 4 antennae although i'm not sure how much help it is to adjust them so I just have them pointing as shown in the mfr images.
