TP-LINK's Archer T6E AC1300 Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter will in most cases be an ideal replacement for an existing installed older wireless card for a desktop PC, and which will be either supporting 802.11N or G standards or be an older and slower AC model. The obvious proviso is that there should be an available PCI Express slot to accommodate it and most motherboards manufactured in the past couple of years or so should be able to provide one or more, even if occupied by the existing wireless card. TP-Link's other networking producs are known to be reliable as this should be for the months and years to come, always affordable,popular and an established brand.Installation is fairly straightforward but does require a few basic precautions, not least switching off the PC and disconnecting its mains lead after ensuring that you touch the metal case to discharge any anti-static. In this instance, it was installed in an older PC to replace and update its generic manufacturer-installed 802.11N predecessor which now fails to meet the user's current needs with its slow transfers.You will need to be able to access the interior of the PC, which will usually mean removing a side panel. Depending on the design of the PC case, you may also need to remove a screw or release a spring catch or other mechanism to release the existing card and to free up the slot and bay it occupies. It is also important to handle the card with care and without touching any component or its electrical connections. Once roughly located, ensure that its heatsink is not in contact with an adjacent card as that may cause future problems. You can then press it into the socket. The antennas are best not attached until after physical installation as they may make insertion more tricky but the overall task should be easy; you will need to replace the screw or catch to secure the card in place and replace the side panel.Driver installation and set-up routines are via the on-CD software provided and not unduly complicated, although there may be an update available from TP-Link's site. It is probably worth checking the product Support page as improved performance may be subsequently possible. Full Technical Support, should you need it, is excellent and via a 24/7 UK-based telephone number.In terms of features, it equals in its wireless performance several of the brand's current routers, router-modems and range extenders, most of whose components it probably shares, with its 400 + 867Mbps capabilities on 2.4 and 5GHz bands respectively. The 2.4GHz is probably best used for day-to-day browsing, e-mailing etc and the faster, cleaner 5GHz for large downloads, streaming, on-line gaming and everything else that may be more demanding. In simple terms, a three-fold increase in performance compared with the previous N standard can be theoretically expected although local service conditions and other factors can limit that to some degree although some improvements will be seen.

I had previously been using a set of homeplugs to connect my main computer to out Virgin router, but the performance has degraded over the last month or so. I already had an older Edimax PCIe card in the machine, but it was only capable of picking up the 2.4 band. Performance wasn't that good, as my main computer was situated in a rear room and has a fridge freezer next to it, which wasn't helping the signal pickup.I've picked up a load of other TPLink netwoeking bits (Access points, switches etc) for home setup for family, so looked into this range. Definitely wanted something that operated on the 5Ghz band, so my choices were limited. Bought on prime and arrived as expected yesterday.Uninstalled the drivers for the other wifi card, then shut down. Removed the old, installed the new.Booted up and then inserted the provided CD. Autoran the installation application and picked driver and utility. Installation was over quickly however, at least on my Windows 10 build, there didn't appear to be anything installed utility wise. I wasn't going to use it, but just wanted to see what it was like, probably before uninstalling it. Connected to my 5Ghz wifi (Im using a Virgin Superhub 2 with 200mb fibre) and ran a test. Initially, I wasn't that impressed, getting about 35mb downstream. I thought maybe the signal attentuation due to the location was too much. I went back and tweaked the aerials a bit more, made a slight increase.It was much better than before, however super fast. I then went into my Virgin router and tweaked my 5Ghz settings more for performance as opposed to compatibility and then was really surprised by the results. Using both fast.com and speedtest.net I was registering about 100mbps down/15mbps up. This is fantastic, and much more in the region to what I was wanting. Its obviously not the same as when connected via Ethernet, and file transfer between my media server and computer is slower overall, but in terms of internet access only, its done a really good job in what is a pretty cramped, and signal affected area.Windows 10 is showing the wireless network strength at one bar only, so to get that performance out of that signal is admirable. I'm probably going to look to some aerial extension cables, so that I can route the aerials higher in the room. If I got full signal I've no doubt that I could utilise my connection further. Not sure if you need anything specific to do this, but I will have a look around, if anyone has experience of this can you let me know.In short, its not cheap, but in my view well worth it. Also comes with a 3 year warranty if you register with TPLink.

Model : Archer T5e AC1200This is the latest product which comes with the Wifi and Bluetooth. Their are many Cards with Wifi ranging from ₹500-₹1500 from TP-Link , so for the Wifi then can buy a ₹800 Dual antenna model.My main purpose is for the bluetooth , bcoz their ain't a single Product that fullfill the requirement. I have brought many Local USB bluetooth dongles (none of them would work with a modern PC) , TP-Link nano Bt4.0 for ₹500 (Get this if you only need for sound output). Well if you are using a bluetooth headphone or an earphone and uses them for voip during the games and meetings then this is the thing you want.Product :Well basically this is a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Modem.So you don't have to do anything with a TP-Link modem/drivers or something , what you are paying for is an Intel Modem, like the laptop modems (which won't fit in M.2 slots of motherboard). What TP-Link T5e does is provides a bridge between the modem and PCIe slot as well as Antenna.Performance :Wifi (802.11 AC) : I am currently running wifi only (unplugged Lan cable) and not finding any difference of speed in Downloding and Browsing or while gaming. Nor any network disconnection for few seconds while gaming. I will put the Lan cable apart after few more days of checking the performance.Hotspot works well in both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz mode.Bluetooth (Intel 4.2): Well the main reason i brought this. Currently during the Classes and meetings, you can move around with a wireless headset (if you use a Desktop). This made it a much more comfort that i can move freely in my room and listen and talk simulatinously. (This won't be possible in Tp-Link BT4.0 adapter or so.)Installation:Attached a pic of how much area does it cover wrt a GPU. If you are placing it above or below it won't matter.You can download the drivers from TP-Link site (international) or from Intel directly. It may work straight OOB but it's strongly recommend to install both Wifi and BT drivers.Should you buy it?Considering it cost 2.2K , I wouldn't recommend it if you are building a new PC. Now a days many Motherboards (budget or premium) comes with inbuilt Wireless modem. So it's better to spend 2-2.5K extra in Motherboard.If you already have an existing motherboard w/o wireless modem , or are looking for a Decent Mid-High range motherboard in budget which doesn't have the wireless modems (and don't wanna buy costly Entry level boards) then this product may fullfill your needs in future.Didn't find any review for this so thought to write myself :p

I have a 1/2 height desktop computer that operates under Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and has a motherboard-based 1 gigabit network interface card. This computer is connected to our home network and works perfectly fine. I recently installed a business network in our home which includes a server, a NAS, and a Cisco firewall. Business users connect to this network via a VPN.I wanted to connect my computer to both of these networks, but I did not want business users to see the home network data, nor other home users to see the business data. The answer was to install a second NIC in the computer. As the computer is 1/2 height, I wanted a card with a low profile bracket.I ordered the TP-LINK TG-3468 1 gigabit NIC and received the card 2 days later.The card was delivered with a simple instruction sheet (with Windows XP and Windows 7), a resource CD with a manual and drivers (for Win XP, Vista 64/32, Win 7 64/32, and Win 8 64/32. There are no drivers for Win 10 and I did not test the Win 8 drivers on a Win 10 installation. I checked there web site and Win 10 drivers are not offered there, either. And, yes, the low profile bracket WAS included in the box!First step was to swap the card's factory equipped full profile bracket for the low profile bracket. This was simple, two screws and done, though there is no slop in the positioning. This is probably a good thing, since this means there is no position adjustment needed.Second step was to insert the card in an open expansion slot. The card is designed for a PCI Express (PCIe) X 1 slot and my computer has one of these, so the slot to use was simple to determine. If the computer did not have a PCIe X1, I could have used any of the other PCIe X16 slots.Third step was to restart the computer and install the driver CD in the drive. Windows 7 fails to automatically load drivers for the card, but the instructions expect this and provide the needed procedure. The instructions lead you step by step to setup the card, it couldn't be simpler.Fourth step was to check that the computer can see resources on both the old and new NIC's (both worked perfectly), then shut down the computer and close the case.It actually took longer to write this product review than it took to install and configure the interface card. I would certainly buy this product again!

If you have a Dual Band Wireless Router (that means it's able to emit 5 GHz frequency), make use of it!Here is my Setup so you can understand what this product may do for you:CableVision: Ultra package with 50 MbpsWireless Router: TP-LINK AC1900 Dual Band Wireless AC Gigabit Router (Archer C9)Distance: About 30 feet away from Router with 2 doors and a ceiling in betweenInternet Speed:-----With this product: ~54 Mbps (see image) connected to 5 GHz Band-----With TP-Link wireless adapter TL-WN722N (150 Mbps): ~25 Mbps connected to 2.4 GHz Band (because it could not reach the 5 GHz Band)Pro:-Able to reach 5 GHz signal (4 bars, sometimes 2 bars,but the 5 GHz is so much faster than the 2.4 GHz)-Easy installation: Just plug and play for me; no extra driver/utility/software needed-Works with Windows 10 pro (I don't know about Windows 10 alone)Cons:-None, it's a huge upgrade from my wireless adapter.-I don't know too much about computers, maybe just more than the average person, but check if you have the PCIe port on your motherboard before investing money in this.-Make sure your wireless router is dual band! and it has the 5 GHz frequency. You don't want to pay for an extra feature you don't even have! If you do not have 5 GHz frequency, then buy the other network cards that are cheaper and do not support dual band.Recommendations:-If you are using a wireless adapter and need to upgrade, I highly recommend this product. The other TP-LINK network cards do not support dual band, so it's best to get this if you have a 5 GHz signal. I am not an expert in this, but I feel like the 5 GHz signal that my Dual Band Router emits allows me to take full advantage of the 50 Mbps from my internet package.-The 54 Mbps does wonders to my download speed. I am able to download TWO 1-hour long YouTube videos in milliseconds. I am able to buffer to areas of the video that hasn't loaded yet, and the video will load instantly.I do also have an extremely strong computer, so that might be a factor in download speed. My computer consists of the following:-CPU = Core i7 5820k 6 core 3.3 GHz-GPU = GEFORCE 960 4 GB-RAM = DDR4 2666 16 GB-PCIe SSD = 256 GB (the latest Samsung SSD)Hope this helps.

After several frustrating failures with USB wifi adaptors, I finally decided to get an internal card. Having recently been upgraded to fast broadband and a dual-band wifi router, I wanted something that would give me the most out of my new connection. This card has proved to be an excellent choice.Installation is simple. Open your PC up, find a PCI-e slot and plug it in. Once your case is back together, you need to attach the three wifi aerials. These screw on to the back of the card easily enough and can be rotated and angled to provide the best fit possible. If there's a down-side to this card, it's the aerials. They do a great job of ensuring good reception and signal strength but they are big,and because they are attached to the back of the PC, it means they can be a bit of a nuisance if your PC needs to fit into a tight space like a cabinet.Sadly, the card isn't recognised automatically by Windows7 so it needed the installation CD to ensure the right drivers are installed. This was easy enough, insert the disk and follow the setup wizard. The drivers and some easy-config software for wifi setup were installed with minimal fuss. Truth be told you do'nt really need the easy-setup utility, Windows7 is simple enough, but the TP-Link software does the job and wraps it all up in a single, neat process so no complaints.In use, the signal has been rock-solid and I can't detect any difference on an internet speed test from a machine that's wired into the router, so it's giving me at least 120Mbps and likely higher. File transfers within my home network work well too - large files to/from the NAS are quicker than they were on older wifi connections. Perhaps not to 300Mbps all the time, but pretty darned close.All things considered, if you're just looking for this card to connect a desktop to your home broadband, it's probably overkill as there aren't any broadband connections that run this fast at the moment. If you do a lot of media streaming or large file transfers internally then it might be worth it. So there's no complaints about the card at all - for the price, it delivers plenty of performance, just think about whether you really need a card this fast.

Some stability problems occurred with the default Windows 8.1 Drivers that Microsoft decided to use. This resulted in the computer freezing or resetting. Downloaded the latest drivers from TP-Link website and had zero problems since. However because of the initial problems I have deducted a star as really this shouldn't be happening.One of the main reasons for buying the dual band 450mb version is the 5ghz band that this uses. Previously my son was using a 2.4ghz USB wifi Dongle. My other son is still using his. But because we had so many 2.4Ghz devices on our wifi Network my son streaming HD Youtube videos was causing a problem for everyone else. Including streaming of Netflix over the Chromecast in the Kitchen.(Chromecast can only use the 2.4Ghz channel).I did a speedtest on my sons computer, and it was getting the same speed as my wired ethernet computer. 104Mbits down, and 8Mbits up. With a ping of 9ms. The ping was exceptional in my opinion. Very very good. And this was on the default Virgin Media Super Hub 2.When I do a file copy on his computer from our local server, it was pulling down around 25-30 MB/s constant, (megaBYTES), which is a lot faster than his previous USB dongle that maxxed out about 8 MB/s and usually around 4-5MB/s on average. A massive improvement.I have asked my son how his Youtube viewing has been since install 3 days ago. And he said it has been great, and that he is able to rewind his youtube videos now without it buffering, and that he is able to watch all his videos in HD.I have also noticed it's improved the remainder of the wifi Network, especially the chromecasts and other 2.4Ghz devices.I will be buying one of my other son as well, to free up the 2.4Ghz network for those devices, and leave the main computers on the 5Ghz network.Hopefully none of my neighbours will be moving to the 5Ghz channels any time soon, as they seem relatively empty at the moment (having down a wifi analyse of the local environment).I was going to wire the house up with Ethernet, but this device will do for now. As my son is able to download at the maximum speed our Internet runs at, and that's all you can ask for really.

I haven't tested the speeds or anything so I can't go too much into technical detail. I can say it's very easy to set up, just throw it in a pcie slot. I assumed I would have to install a driver, but as soon as I booted up the pc after installation it was recognized by Windows 10 Pro and I was receiving WiFi signal like it came with it. Installed it into someone else's pc so I don't live with it but heard there have been no hiccups. The range seems good, it's in a pc in a corner on the second floor, opposite side of the small home where the router is on the first floor. Feels faster than WiFi on wireless devices such as phones and tablet, but not as fast as my personal pc which is a wired connection,no surprise there. Overall I am impressed how good it is for wireless. Maybe one day wireless will be as fast as wired, but not today. Casual users like the device's owner won't really notice the difference between this and wired when it comes to checking Facebook and such. If you are a pro gamer or trading on wall street, stay wired. The antennas do seem durable enough to last if they aren't abused, just remember they are there when moving the pc. My only complaint is that it's green, not black. If it would have cost another dollar for a black pcb, I would gladly pay it. I know it seems picky to knock off a star for a green pcie device, but nowadays almost every decent chassis has tempered glass and this thing is a real eyesore in an otherwise beautiful build. Obviously if you throw this in a Dell or HP or something you won't see it, but in a custom build it really stands out and looks ugly. You can mitigate this a bit by choosing a slot under the gpu rather than over it, but then you impede airflow to the gpu. However, the difference in gpu cooling is likely very minor in most cases. Ultimately it's up to you. This pc owner decided not to hinder airflow to the gpu cooler in any way, so it's above it and its ugly. Rest of the build looks amazing. What a shame.

I purchased this adapter for my gaming PC that I built back in 2011. I have no Ethernet connections in my room, so I had been using a D-Link 802.11N PCI wireless card instead.---Ease of Installation---After removing the product from the packaging, the first thing I noticed was how unbelievably small the device was. Obviously this was no accident; a low-profile adapter was included in the box, so this card is usable even in slim micro-tower PCs. I removed my old adapter and installed this one in a free PCI-E x1 slot. After I booted my PC, I inserted the mini-CD containing the drivers (those with slot-loading drives will need to download them) and installed them.TP-Link's wireless manager is apparently not compatible with Windows 7 or 8, so it alerted me that only the drivers would be installed. I actually prefer to use Windows' native wireless manager, this worked out well for me.--Performance--Anyone in the market for wireless adapters, USB, PCI-E, or otherwise, needs to be aware that the card's advertised speed is a theoretical maximum. The actual performance is based on many factors, including the performance of the wireless access point (router). However, I can say that this card performs as fast as my current network can keep up with, so I have no complaints. It consistently pulls 26-29 Mbps download speeds (my ISP provides 30 Mbps) and hasn't lost its signal yet. It operates on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks, so if your home router supports the newer 5GHz standard, it will take advantage of its higher speed.--Overall--My previous wireless adapter had issues with signal strength and connection dropouts. This card remedied those issues, and I've been thoroughly satisfied with it so far. If you've got an older desktop PC and don't have any PCI-E x1 slots, check out TP-Link's PCI version which, if this card is any indication, should provide you with a suitable replacement.

I'm going to have to say this is the best value in this product space. The Realtek chip used is really quite reliable, and I'm not easy to please. The Intel chip is better performance wise, but only by about 5% on the top end, however costs at least double, if not more. 95% of people won't be able to tell the difference in the performance even if they try pretty hard, and in the application this will be used, it won't be an issue anyway since maximum network traffic bursts will be in the 20MB/s range, at least for a few years. It's power consumption, about 1 watt at idle or very low traffic, is quite acceptable, and I'm also a stickler about that. An exceedingly simple card like this is hard to screw up,and they didn't, so that's a good sign. If you really need those 5,000 additional management features available on the Intel based card, go ahead and spend 4x what this one costs. Or is it 5x? I think I paid $10 for this one. Once, only once, did we try a card based on the Via chip. That card is in the trash now.Pay no attention to people saying it didn't work on their Windows box. If someone doesn't have the expertise to get the driver on to their Windows box, they shouldn't be adding cards to their box by themselves as it is. Any up-to-date version of Windows 7 or later has the driver already. And, of course, the card comes with a mini-cd with the driver on it, and it can be downloaded off the internet quite easily. If you're trying to add this card to a box that is 10 years old, well, bravo to you, but you will have to get creative unless you are running software that's newer than your box. We use Linux, and the driver has been in Linux distros for at least a year now. Even if the Linux release that you're running is a couple of years old, if you've been updating your kernel like you should be, you have the driver.

I have only had this for a few days. I always wanted to have a computer hooked up to the big TV in the living room to watch internet video. We have a PS3 but it is CONSTANTLY needing updating, and the way it handles YouTube and other web video stinks; however, the PS3 has a built-in wireless card. I had a couple of older computers that I was experimenting with, but they didn't have wireless cards, or didn't have an OS that would recognize my video card. Last week, people were tossing out their old junk and someone was discarding a working Dell computer with a duo-core Pentium; but they had taken out the hard drive, and it had no wireless card again. So, I took a hard drive out of another old computer,stuck it in this newer Dell, and it worked fine.But I had to drag a long network cable through the living room to get on the internet. That's a sloppy and slightly dangerous solution, so I opted to get a new wireless card. There were claims on Amazon that this reasonably priced card would work with Ubuntu, which was installed on that old drive. I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 first, then unhooked the network cable. When this TP-Link card arrived the next day, I just opened up the Dell and plugged it in.It detected all of the nearby networks immediately. And I chose my old Linksys 802.11g wireless router from the list, entered the password, and BOOM! there we are -- on the internet. It seems to work fast and steady. The distance between the Linksys router and the Dell is about 18 feet and goes through one wall. No problems. I never had to install any drivers or tinker with any settings -- it just worked with Ubunut 14.04 LTS as soon as I turned the power on. I'm connected to a RCN cable modem, no compatibility issues, no pop-up menus, nothing but net. :)

I bought this card because: 1) My existing desktop card was slow and flaky, 2) This was the right price and supports dual band (G and N), 3) had great product reviews here on Amazon.The good reviews are correct. Bad reviews, well while it's possible to get a bad card, I would suggest something isn't right with the person's machine, installation, or software / hardware compatibility. You should be able to install this card and be up and running in a matter of a few minutes. I would highly recommend also installing the software including the utility to connect to wireless networks. In most cases Windows will work fine without installing any of the software.I run this card with Windows 7 in a Dell XPS 8300 desktop.I was getting 30- 60 Mbps on my PC across the house in another room on a comcast 110 download / 10 Upload Mbps connection using an ASUS dual-band router and my flaky wireless Amped card. After installing this TP-LINK card I am getting between 100 / 130 Mbps. It effectively doubled my speed. I get full bandwidth use over wireless now, something that the comcast engineer told me was impossible. I tested on speedtest.net. YMMV. If you need a new card or are replacing an existing card, I would highly recommend this PCI-E card.UPDATE 7/22/2016I bought another one, the high-end AC dual band one for a new build. It works fine with Windows 10. It didn't automatically detect, but with the CD driver install, just ran that, and boom! No-nonsense install and operation. I am getting 180 Mbps over my Infinity wireless connection just with preliminary testing. Downloaded half a gig in a few minutes. Smoking! I recommend this card to anybody and everyone, what a good fast card to have. Working great with an ASUS Dual band router.

Recently, after significant trial and error, I have discovered that home wireless connectivity is severely lacking especially if one lives in an apartment complex and subject to significant wireless signal interference from apartments close by. Furthermore the wireless connectors are marketed as having great throughput connectivity when, in practice, this is seldom achieved. Furthermore, and what the user is not told, is that errors occur on the wireless protocols and that the re-transmissions, to fix these errors, can cause data time lag which can interfere with media streaming applications and interactive websites, resulting sometimes in hangs and perceived slow internet connectivity /responsiveness. So I switched to cabled connectivity and the good news is that I now have consistent and high speed throughput. However then discovered that the standard ethernet adaptors on a "so called high performance motherboard", maxed out at 100Gbps. So I bought TP-Link and installed it and throughput increased to 200Gbps. This was 4x higher than my Ethernet throughput BW over wireless and 2x higher than my Ethernet throughput over the standard "motherboard provided" ethernet connection. Installing the device is simple as long as you follow the provided instructions and use the provided driver. One word of caution is that you should not attempt to plug this device into the full length PCI-E connector slot on the motherboard as this, at least in my case, caused the computer to fail to start. But after reinstalling the TP-Link into the shorter PCI-E connector slot tailored for the # of pins on this card, things worked just fine. An invaluable resource to check your Ethernet throughput is "speedtest by Ookla" which can be found on the web

Review for TP-Link Archer T6E AC1300I’ve been using a USB wifi adapter for my internet connectivity ever since I went wireless many years ago. Recently it’s been temperamental, and finally refused to connect at all. So, internet being as necessary as it is, I did a quick search on Amazon (luckily laptop still working fine) to see what was available. I almost ordered another USB adapter, but Amazon was pulling up some PCI cards in its search results and I thought that might be better since I had some spare slots, and it would remove any speed restrictions due to my USB 2.0 ports.I settled for this – not the cheapest, and a long way from the most expensive,but with enough ok reviews to make me think I probably won’t be wasting my money.It arrived around an hour ago. Took five minutes to slot into place, about 7 minutes more to install the drivers and software from the included disc, and I was connected again. It really was a piece of cake. But the thing I most noticed was the increase in speed of my internet connection. I’d recently changed to fibre broadband and hadn’t really noticed any speed difference with internet browsing on my desktop PC. My old USB adapter I was recording 23Mbps on a speed test. With this new TP-link adapter the speed has shot up to 37 Mbps. It was worth it just for that.Anyway much too early to vote on reliability, but for ease of installation, signal strength, and effectiveness I’ll give it full marks. If I encounter any problems in the future, I’ll update this review.My PC is running Windows 7 and I'm using the driver that came on the installation disc with this adapter. Broadband is Fibre form Talktalk using the supplied Talktalk Router.

First off, let me say that I have Windows 10 on my desktop, and I have had zero compatibility issues running this card. Many reviewers here are warning Windows 10 users to avoid this card, but I can tell you I am using it with Windows 10 without any issue. Perhaps their motherboards are the problem, perhaps they installed it incorrectly, I don't know, but it isn't Windows 10 that's the problem. My PC detected the card and it worked right out of the box. I never even opened the CD that came with it, nor did I search for any drivers online to download. I've been using this wifi card for about 2 weeks now, and it connects immediately to my home wifi network.My Dell Laptop's internal wifi would take sometimes a couple minutes to connect, so I'm very pleased with how quickly and easily this wifi card connects. Now for the cons...The card itself is a bit slim, and therefore it fits a tad loosely in my mobo's PCI express slot. I could easily move it around side to side holding it just by the bracket. That worried me at first, but just make sure you secure it well in the back panel of your PC case. My second con is I'm only receiving download speeds that peak at times between 2.5 to 3 Mbps. Not that great for cable internet, by any means. Perhaps its the Belkin router from Charter that is at fault here. Regardless, I'm able to game online without any lag, and for the price and how quickly this connects to wifi at boot, this card is pretty good. And yes, it works fine with Windows 10.EDIT 3/27/17: I replaced my router several months ago, which was the culprit of lag and low speeds. This product was not at fault, and is still working like a champ over a year later.
