    Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I REV Bluetooth 4.2/Wireless AC/B/G/N Band Dual Frequency 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz Expansion Card

    • but it does have and great antenna and Bluetooth and the black pcb is a nice touch as most are green.
    • Thanks to the neat antenna I can hide it anywhere on my case, including the side
    • Very good connection, love the reliability of connection, and also like that connects the antennae on my case.
    • Dual band support is great and the magnetic antenna is great
    • I wasn't too sure I'd like the external antenna, but it has a magnetic base that I can put about anywhere
    • All in all pretty good card but the pcie adapter could have fried something, once again I think I got lucky!I would recommend getting a different product, but if you want to take the risk of getting a faulty card or want the antenna in the case it works pretty good for cheap
    • Personally I dislike the look of antennas like
    • Great magnetic antenna, stays put on PC case
    • The magnet on the antenna is commendable; while not the greatest antenna design, it is foldable so it can lay flat on your PC case's side, or upright on top of your computer as well.- PCIe compatible; it can plug into any available PCIe slot on your
    • More sensitive antenna are a good aftermarket investment for as little as $15 for a pair.
    • The antenna is a bit bulky, however, it has a magnetic grip on the base so you can really stick it to any metal part of your case
    • I'd prefer an antenna that stuck right out of the card
    • The antenna is magnetic as well and sticks to the side of the case, putting it in a better place to pick up signal then just sticking directly out the back of the PC.
    • Indoor Omni-directional Antenna, 802.11n/b/g, RP-SMA Female connector and the signal strength is INCREDIBLE
    • I prefer the hard antenna screwed in vs a wired antenna
    • I love the external antenna, and it has given me the best performance and signal ive ever had from wifi
    • Antenna doesn't reach far but put some high gain antennas on and theyt reach my whole 5 acres
    • Also, the antennae is ugly, I try not to look at it
    • It's a nice antenna that's
    • Good range, nice magnetic external antenna.
    • I tried some other antennas that I had lying around, but this didn't noticeably improve things.
    • The card is good, but the antenna is really flimsy.
    • the magnetic antenna is nice, and it functions wellThe best thing is this package, at least when i purchased it almost a year ago, cost less than the Intel 8260 on its ownAlso a note to anyone who may not be aware, PCI-e 1x devices like this will work in larger PCI-e slots such as 4x, 8x, and 16x, just remember to check your motherboard's manual to make sure the slot isn't turned off because of other occupied slots
    • The AC wifi is awesome, the antenna is pretty good for the money, and the black PCB is aesthetically better than anything else on the market at this price.
    • I really like the antenna though
    • The antenna is perfectly adequate, though nothing special
    • If you're in a weird positioning situation, like I am (server tucked away in closet of really old rowhouse) the removable magnetic antenna is a godsend.
    • Also comes with a really nice antenna.
    • The antenna seems to work great and it being detachable, magnetic and multi-directional, are all amazing features.
    • Now all that is visible is the sleek antenna.
    • Unfortunately, the antenna does not get that much of an improvement over my high-gain antenna on my Rosewill
    • External antenna is not nearly as annoying as I had feared, and hides easily behind a speaker without any noticeable loss in range - but I have not tested it beyond 15 ft or around other obstacles
    • Only problem is external antenna is a pain and mine had no magnetic
    • One thing I hate is that dongle is pretty ugly (i'd rather prefer antennas
    • Using High Gain antennas instead of the ones that were supplied for better range
    • Theoretically, the included antennae should work better and I could always buy a different antennae if desk space becomes an issue.
    • Thanfully Gigabyte sells a replacement antenna for $7, and if we weren't almost done with construction and moving in soon I would have spent an extra $10 for a better antenna for a better signal
    • The external antenna is a bonus
    • So I'm docking one star for the mediocre stock antenna, but it does have one redeeming quality in that it's base is magnetic, and pretty strong at that
    • I prefer the hard antenna screwed in vs a wired antenna
    • The boxed wifi antenna is not very good.
    • You can stick it to the side of your PC easily, due to the magnet in the bottom, and then orient the antenna itself towards the direction of the Wi-Fi signal and it works perfectly, nothing bad to say about it.
    • The antennae that comes with the card is rather innovative, in its design
    • Awesome magnetic antenna
    • The case has magnetically attached air filters (which are quite nifty) but that means if I were to set the antenna on top and then knock it over or move it, it would move the filter with it
    • And, the antenna, which attaches to the card is amazing as well
    • The wireless antenna is adjustable and magnetic
    • It functions well but the antenna is very fragile, mine broke within a couple of months and after that I keep getting dropped signals and my now my pc won't connect at all
    • The other nice positive is the antenna
    • only downside is the antenna
    • I also love the antenna on this card
    • Great card, easy install, all necessary drivers included, I talk a lot about how I love the magnetic antenna
    • Magnetic antenna is good
    • I really thought the built-in bluetooth was a nice touch, though I was hoping for a card like this without the loose antenna
    • Magnetic base on antenna very useful, however would be perfect if cable from adapter to antenna was a bit longer
    • , fast download for the program (on a CD), and the antenna is very easy to adjust .
    • Pros:-Antenna (with magnet)-Compatible
    • The magnetic antenna is pretty nifty too; it's sitting next to my PC and doesn't get caught up in the mire of cables behind my case
    • Only issue is the antenna
    • The magnetic base and adjustable antenna are very convenient for mounting to a case.
    • The cable for the antenna is somewhat short so you may have trouble attaching the antenna to a good spot if your card is far away.
    • Even is magnetic so you can slap the antenna to your case.
    • The antenna that comes with the device is excellent; I love how its magnetic
    • My main concern was if this would slow down the speed of the internet and cause my ping to go up but it actually runs just as well as being hardwired into the router
    • Arrived on time, works as you would expect it to, fit nicely into the slot
    • Not as great as I had hoped
    • The WiFi is working great, it's about as fast as with an ethernet connection (or at least I haven't noticed the difference).I'm just having issues with the bluetooth.
    • Without a doubt, this dual band WiFi/Bluetooth 4.0 W/ antenna is as good as or better than anything I've used in the past 2 years
    • The item worked as it expected with no issues (so far)
    • Excellent Wireless N capability and range, I do not have an AC
    • The good:This device and its antenna, powered by the Intel 7260 AC wireless adapter, gets a stronger signal from my N router than my previous Intel Centrino 6300N (which had 3 hi-gain, dual-band antennas, and was also connected through a PCI-e adapter).The bad and the ugly
