Works splendidly.Concerns?I was slightly concerned about the comments regarding Windows 10 compatibility, but couldn't myself see why it wouldn't be. Sure enough, I powered down, opened the side panel, connected the adapter card to my PCIe slot, hooked up the antenna, closed up, powered back on, and it worked, just like that. No manual driver installs necessary since I have an ethernet connection as well - Windows 10 did it automatically.The product does come with a disk for driver installation if need be. I would always recommend having a wired connection anyway, even if you want the benefits of wireless for convenience such as working with a printer which can only be connected to one type of network at a time.Wired is more secure, more stable, faster, and ideal for troubleshooting.How good is it? 5 stars.I have a modem/router downstairs by the TV (my uncle did it while I was away which is why it isn't upstairs where it'd have been more convenient!). I also have a second router in my upstairs office to service my devices there, including my PC. The issue was my TV needed to be on the same subnet as my PC to communicate, and the wireless signal of my router is apparently too weak to reach, but my phone has no problem using the modem's broadcast from upstairs, indicating it is stronger. So my solution had to be installing a wireless card on my PC so it could connect to the modem via wireless. This adapter enabled that; the signal to my PC is picked up strong, and there is no noticeable delay in streaming content from my PC to my TV. Obviously there is a slight delay in button presses, but once the stream is started, you don't notice. Perfect.As a bonus, it has bluetooth.(For techy people: no my issue was not to do with conflicting wireless broadcasts; I tested the signal strength months ago, disabling one and enabling the other, and the modem's 2.4GHz was better, so I turned off the modem's 5GHz and my router's 2.4GHz, and turned on my router's 5GHz so I had the wireless option on both routers for troubleshooting and any other purpose that might appear. My router's 5GHz was insufficient to connect the TV downstairs on the modem subnet, to the PC upstairs on the 2nd router subnet.)

Before beginning the review I want to confirm that I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. I bought the Asus PC-AC55BT network adapter as it was a good price and enabled Bluetooth connectivity. Installation was easy and as described in the instruction manual. I got this device working within minutes. Once installed internet speed was comparable to what I'd get from a wired (Ethernet) connection and Bluetooth worked perfectly and synced to my phone quickly.A little unsure if the packaged drivers are actually the correct ones for the device but they did work. I say this as the device appears as an Intel 7260 adapter in 'device manager' and accordingly Asus provide Intel PROset drivers.If you look on the Intel support webpage for the 7260 adapter you'll find that the 7260 isn't technically supported by the latest drivers.The reason why I give 4 stars is because I had a technical issue where the computer wouldn't shutdown; rather it would restart and I'd need to hold the power button for a few seconds to shutdown my computer. Once I'd removed the network adapter this fixed the issue. Therefore, overall the device worked great with strong wifi and Bluetooth connectivity but you may need to do some research and change settings to get this device to work properly.

This is combination of Mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapter (perhaps with some little tweaks from Asus) and excellent Mini PCI-E WiFi card from Intel - model 8260. Which is exactly the reason why the product is a bit pricier, but it works flawlessly. Under Win10 64b there is no need to download drivers externally, you just plug and play. Speeds are exactly as expected - around 700Mb/s with AP on ground floor and antenna of this card on first floor horizontally in neighboring room, seeing around 40MB download which is 320Mb which is excellent speed.For everyone who don't understand speeds on WiFi, search for difference between Mb and MB, distinguish between speeds on different bands and focus on band you use,and remember that speeds on WiFi are advertised in half-duplex = sum of both directions. Theoretical maximum on 5GHz for this card is 867Mb/s which theoretically is 433Mb/s in each direction with direct line of sight and no interference and of course a few percents of overhead needs to be subtracted from this number too.

It's as simple as slotting the card into one of your PC's PCI ports and connecting the motherboard USB cable (comes with this item). I booted up my computer and it recognised it straight away. Not sure if that's testament to my PC, Windows 10 or this product but either way, it was a breeze to start using. My internet connection is very very good now but I have no benchmark to compare against seeing as though I have just upgraded my router and my PC didn't have a wifi card before I added this one.Just in case this sways anyone, I was using a wall power ethernet socket before I bought this (the wall power ethernet socket connects to your router through your power socket and electric wiring in your household).I guess my wiring in my house can't be very good because I was getting around 30mb/s download speed with roughly 30 ping before and now it's shot up to 100mb/s download speed with 20 ping.

I had previously bought a cheap £10 wireless usb adapter which failed me badly and kept disconnecting.I have a desktop in my home and a 350mbs internet connection. The router is in the attic so I could not connect to it via a wire so I had to look for a wireless solution. I bought this adapter and I've been happy ever since. I get speeds up to 370-380mb/s when the network is not very busy, it has bluetooth as well which is quite good if you want to connect bluetooth devices, or if for example you want to transfer a phono betwen your phone and your computer. It's fast, reliable, and easy to install, and the antena is quite cute !

This adaptor has saved my wireless gaming and streaming needs.I had a cheap adaptor before that was older and didn't go up to the AC standard. This card has improved my wireless connection from consistently 1 bar to consistently full bars in the same position. The other benefit to this card is the wire for the aerials, which means that I have been able to attach the antenna to the front of my machine, rather than hidden away at the rear next to a wall.The speeds I achieve now are perfect for 1080p streaming, and low-ping gaming.Overall, a very good purchase.

Works wellThroughput is acceptable for what it is and range seems to hold up nicelyInstallation was a breeze dropped it in the bottom PCI-E 8x (it will fit in larger slots you dont need a 1x slot to plug it in) to give my GPU a bit more breathing room.USB cable is ketchup and mustard which is a shame but is so low down in the case its not really noticeable.Only complaints are the size of the antenna could be increased to raise the DB level and no magnet to help it stay in place but it works as expected.

This review is for the Asus PC-AC55BT PCIe Network Adapter which is basically and laptop Intel 9260 installed on a desktop PCIE adapter card and all the better for it. Works perfectly with Linux and Windows 10, has a spare low profile bracket for use in certain small form factor PCs and a USB header lead if you want to use the Bluetooth function available, without a shadow of doubt a great buy.Highly recommended. This is the solution for desktop PCs, Intel cards just work.

I've installed this WiFi card into my plex server. So far I'm really impressed, I've tested it with 1080P blue Ray rips up to 28gb in size and the picture has been stable with no buffering. Under windows 10 64bit there is no need to use the driver provided as windows installs it's own and they work perfectly. On the 5ghz band It stays between 585mbps and 650mbps peaking at 780 mbps. Overall I highly recommend this card so glad I took a chance on it.

I was not convinced by the attached aerial but, as I'd had to return a competitor product as it kept dropping its signal (even though it was only some 6 feet from the router) I thought I'd give this a try.This works really well. Signal is strong and I've had no issues at all. Just plug and play. I did have a little play with the bluetooth bit but couldn't get it to work. However I didn't try very hard as it's not something I need.

Worried at first this was dud. Upload speed was fine, download speed was 0.05mbps! Rechecked connections & settings etc and tried a few positions with the antenna, turned out the pc desk which is metal was causing the problem. Ran the antenna cable close to the side of the pc rather than keeping it clear and hey presto, look at my speeds! Bluetooth is Bluetooth which works fine too

I only use this for Bluetooth as I don't like those USB dingles. Never had any issues with it even when I have my Bluetooth headphones on and go downstairs. I did try the WiFi to see how well it works. Despite the router being downstairs and on the opposite side of the house I still got a strong signal so I would recomend for both WiFi and Bluetooth if you don't have them

Easy to physically install, no need to install drivers (Win 10).Yesterday I was using those ethernet cable adapters which use the power sockets and had 8Mbps connection speed when testing on Ookla, after installing this I've jumped to 144Mbps and I've got my PS4 control connected via bluetooth.I'll update this review if necessary, but I think this is a keeper.

Installation dead easy; good wireless connection to router which is downstairs and through a couple of brick walls. Every two or three days the wireless connection is lost: the fix is to unlpug the USB lead and instantly replug it, and normality is restored. Whether this is a problem with this ASUS adaptor, the PC, or something else... who knows?

Vast improvement from on board wireless card.Signal improved from 2/5 bars to 5/5.Antenna extension is only long enough to position on top of tower, but does the job.Important to update drivers to get the most out of the product. Straight forward install and compaywith windows 10.Bluetooth function not tested yet.
