Top Quality Network Card
I've never installed a network card before, but found the instructions clear and simple, and got it working straight away. I am now achieving the best speed possible with my current network provider. I also connected the Bluetooth wire so was able to replace both my old usb bluetooth and slow usb wireless adapter in one hit. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality and high speed internal network card.

Excellent Product, Well Worth It, Should be on every PC builders Purchase List
Recently built a new Gaming PC for my soon to be teenage son and unfortunately the Motherboard I chose didn't have a built in Wi-Fi Capability or Bluetooth - so I started searching for small PCI based Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card on Amazon.As always the item was delivered within 24 hours by Amazon (hence the search on Amazon). I was a bit apprehensive as I had never heard of the brand name before but helped me make the purchase was the fact that it used the intel chipset and it both the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipset for future-proofing.The package was well secured and the PCI card was inside an anti-static bag which was packed in a hard box with its spare smaller backplate and a screwdriver.The setup was straightforward and hopefully as you can see in the attached picture it fitted in pretty well, with one extra cable for Bluetooth connecting to the USB port on the motherboard.I have to say I was very pleased with the excellent quality, great price and easy installation procedure.I would love to recommend this product to all new PC builders who have not got a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth car built in like me.

Fast and stable wifi, excellent bluetooth range and signal strength. Does exactly what I need it to
I bought this card because it sports the Intel AX210 chipset as well as Bluetooth 5.2. Great specs on paper but does it deliver where it counts?TLDR: Yes it does.Wifi performance is excellent. My router is on a different floor to my PC. on 5Ghz, I get a stable 77Mb/s connection over Wifi where the max achievable via Ethernet is 78.5Mb/s. Best of all the connection is extremely stable.Bluetooth performance is a quantum leap over what I had previously. I can now listen to music from my computer through my bluetooth headphones in every room of my house with no audio stutter whatsoever.First impressions1. Nice packaging. Boxed well, all the components are included, even a small screw driver for fitting. Initially I was going to use my own, but I couldn't be bothered to find my tools so the inclusion ended being a welcome convenience.2. The card itself looks good. The red heat sink looks nice, the paint finish is good, the red LED on the card illuminating the logo looks quite good I think. The build quality feels good. A solid little card.Physical Installation3. Physical installation is easy. Plugged into the PCIE-1 smoothly. For bluetooth, a USB header must be free on your motherboard: connect the card to the header with the included wire. Very straightforward. Software Installation4. This was not plug and play for me. Neither Bluetooth or Wifi Adaptor were recognised by Device Manager on Windows 10 after booting. Windows 10's automatically find drivers option did not work either. In my case, I downloaded and installed the official Intel drivers. Once installed, both the Bluetooth and WiFi adaptors were recognised and I was good to go.N.B. There is an included CD but I no longer use physical media so I got the official AX210 driver package from Intels website. (https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/products/sku/204836/intel-wifi-6e-ax210-gig/downloads.html). I made sure to download the driver before I installed the new card as it replaces a prior Wifi card and I wouldn't be able to download the drivers at that point. Naturally, I installed the new drivers only after the new card was installed.Peformance5. Bluetooth 5.2 is a revelation. I've had 4.0, 4.2 USB adaptors, and 5.1 in a prior PCI-E Card. The performance of Bluetooth on this is the best yet. Instant device recognition, quick pairing, strong stable connection and fantastic range. My bluetooth headphones, which I could only use within the room of my PC previously can now be used in every corner of both floors of my house, with no audio stutter and cutting out. It's a huge quality of life improvement.6. Wifi 6e is strong and stable. Better than the performance of the AX200 version of this card I bought 2 years back (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Z1W8Y16/) in terms of wifi stability, but no discernable improvement in maximum speed achieved.Overall, an excellent product. The bluetooth is fantastic, and the Wifi is fast, strong and stable. Does exactly what I need it to.

Stopped working after 2 hrs of use
Don't buy this!Waste of money and time. Spent all day trying to install it. Came with driver disc but no pc's these days have a cd rom so pretty useless. On manual it has QR code with link to drivers. How are you suppose to go to that link with stationery pc that has no camera or internet?That wasn't even the worst part. After messing with it whole day trying to find drivers finally managed to make it work. Worked fine for like 2hrs. Until I restarted pc then it stopped. Tried everything, reinstalling drivers, checked if it's connected to motherboard properly nothing helped.Very poor quality built, looks cheap, and even screw driver that it came with broke after using it for 20 seconds.Don't waste you money or time with this useless card. Don't be fooled with good reviews.
