I ended up returning this a few weeks ago and did not realize it probably works great, especially for the low price. When I returned it, I stated " This should work with my Intel motherboard, I tried drivers that were included and drivers I found online, none worked and allowed my Computer to recognize it "It was my fault, pretty much! I usually go through the bios, well used to when I built computers or purchased a used setup. This particular time I did not even THINK to check the BIOS settings. The past owner/factory, turned the other PCI-E slots off and only had the 16x Slot active for the Video Card.Long story short, if you cannot get this wifi card to recognize, try checking the bios settings! You can search how to enter the bios settings or have someone that's know computers, check that for you. Pretty simple process thouh, it is usually pressing 'Del' or 'f10, etc. You press 1 button, each manufacturer may be different. It is while the computer boots up,press a certain key and it takes you into a new Menu, where you can change settings.

It still works well and has good reception and speed after over 10 years of use. However it is easy for the antennas to fall off the small plastic bases that screw into the antenna receptacle socket on the PCIe slot cover. I just reconnect them and then use tape to hold them in place.

Saw this when i was looking for Pcie wifi card for my first built, and while installing windows it promptly ask me to use the wifi network. It uses realtek wifi drivers upon windows installation. I haven’t tried it on gaming yet since i just finished building my PC. I’ll update my review on that part.Update 1: GAMING- no lagUpdate 2: downloading and installing new games on my new PC built, I noticed that the wifi card is capped in 4-5mbps whereas my phone’s speed test says otherwise. I will post more update about this download times.

My son has been using this for quite awhile now and I haven't had any issues at all. It connects well and does its job. Purchased the larger AC1900 for my other son recently and it installed easy as well. No issues. Rosewill seems a fairly solid brand in my experience. Pretty sure it is Newegg's house brand, which is where I purchased the second one due to lower sale pricing at the time.Connectivity itself will depend on your situation and all cases will be different. In mine the lesser AC600 pulls a slightly better connection closer to the router with one less wall than the better and more expensive AC1900 does further away, all on a 5G network. Neither is perfect connection speeds but good none the less (online gaming) and work as expected and thankfully easy to deal with. In the case of the AC1900 turning the router sideways boosted the speed even - your case will be different obviously. The Wifi adapters should be fairly simple as in they work (as intended) or not. Worth mentioning if you read this far that these are both Win7 systems. Little doubt that they would work fine on Win10 but have yet to try it.For the price these are great alternatives to the more expensive name brand ones they are built after.

Fue fácil instalarlo, sin ningún contratiempo. Lo único que si me gustaría ver sería una versión con Bluetooth, porque en esta versión no la tiene.

The card worked fine for about 4 months. At that point 5ghz stopped working. To troubleshoot I...-Tested 2 other devices on the 5ghz network at the same location to confirm it wasn't my router-Reinstalled the drivers of the wifi card-Reinstalled Windows 7-Reseated the card and its antennasI figured no big deal, I'll just have it replaced under warranty. Rosewill said I must send the card in, it will take 3-5 days to process, and then they'll ship me a replacement. I asked what I was supposed to do for internet in the mean time and they said I would either need to buy a ethernet cable or buy a new wifi card.So my options are...1) Spend $30 on an ethernet cable long enough to be wired along the wall, $7 on shipping. All for a $30 wifi card.2) Spend $30 on a wifi card, $7 on shipping. All for a $30 wifi card. Bonus: Have extra wifi card for when it breaks in 4 months.3) Buy a new Wifi card for $30. Bonus: Save money on $7 warranty shipping.Most normal companies ship you a replacement and then you return the broken product in the same box. Guess they bank on you picking option #3 (and hopefully rebuying their product) instead of going through with the warranty.

Easy to install, went right in with no problem. But when I started it I ran into lots of problems. It would not link to my home's wifi system no matter how much I tried. And yes, I know all about how to do it. I'm not a beginner at PCs - I've been using them since 1984.So I didn't know what the problems was, and I didn't want to fool with it - so I just left it in there. I had a USB wireless dongle that I was then using to connect to my home's wifi, so I had to be happy with that - though every few months, I would still try.Finally my dongle USB wireless went bad. It just died (right after the one year warranty date passed). And since this wasn't linking in, I went out to buy a new adapter. I ended up buying an expensive one - an $80 NETGEAR one that had all the bells and whistles - and again, this was a USB Adaptor for wireless. Well I connected that one, set it all up. and that one gave me problems now and then - it wouldn't keep its connections no matter what I would do.Now all this time, this Rosewell Adaptor would also appear in my wifi settings (even though I had disabled it). So one day I turned it on once again. The next time my PC booted, Instead of going to the new Netgear device, I was able to connect through the Rosewill adaptor. Got a really good connection too.I thought it was a fluke, but it kept happening. So I disconnected the new Netgear one and left the Rosewill one on. And guess what - it now worked perfectly!So I don't know why I had problems in the beginning. My System's settings were correct, it was connected properly, but it still would not work. Now it does. I'm happy.But next week I have to take out that card - I have a PCI-e USB 3.0 adaptor card I need to install - and unfortunately, I may have to unlink this adaptor. If that happens, I'll have to go back to the other adaptor and let you all know that happens.
