However, this junky card is still frequently dropping connections

However, I'm not certain it's the card's fault or my PC's

If you want to avoid issues with a 2.4GHz network just be sure to remove the old 2.4Ghz network from your network list so the card doesn't get confused and accidentally connect to it.

It's a sturdy, solidly build card, and it works very well

Great wireless card.

It was a great card for a

It's not really the fault of TP-Link, but means the card isn't worthwhile either way

This card, when put into the machine, just caused the machine to crash over and over

I eventually just disabled this card in device manager and tried my usb wifi card and the problem went away

This card has been working with out fail for over a month now and it gets really good speeds providing that you have a good 802.11AC router

The card does connect and work well on wireless n, but that's not what you're looking for if you're buying this card

I found the cards to be absolutely amazing

This card fits and works perfectly

I will be putting the slower, but reliable D-Link card back in this weekend

During any kind of gaming or being used for more than about an hour consistently streaming video, this card either throttles itself or simply overheats like nobody's business, and then it struggles to report even 1Mbps, and speedtest reports it as 0.88Mbps down with 1.2 Mbps upload!My old USB2.0 Netgear adapter almost never

Overall it's a nice Wi-Fi card, but I wish it worked what it was advertised to do.

For someone with limited finances this is a good temporary replacement or starter card.

Solid card does what it does and it install seamlessly with windows 10

This card was also a struggle to install and configure

; this card is good if you share a room with your router or otherwise have plenty of 5GHz signal available

Great Wi-Fi card

Amazing network card

Based on other's reviews this sounded like a reasonable card.

Not a very good card for the money i wud not waiste my time buy this

This has been by far the best AC wifi card you can add to your system

Good card until early December 2017 when a windows 10 update made this card unusable

I have no interest in flashy red wireless cards, so TP-LINK is the way to go.

This wireless card is fantastic!

This card has been great so far

Card will work again immediately-1 star because the card works as specified, but TP-LINK support is pushing a separate solution that forces people to update to an unnecessary version of Windows 10-

Even when they are placed face to face (literally, they are within 1 yard when testing), it insists on connecting to 2.4G than 5G, and even with a/b/g disabled leaving only 11n for 2.4G, 11ac for 5G on router, this card refuses to use full speed of 11n

The card works fine on my HP Z240 desktop running Windows 10.

Unfortunately, the card, that is three times bigger than miniPCI WiFi cards in notebooks, worked three times worse, at least in "g.

The card works awesome compared to the older wireless card it replaced.

This card is a good option if you need a cheap, flexible wifi card to utilize that tiny, goofy looking PCI-E x1 slot on your motherboard

Excellent card for the $!

While the card is supported out of the box by MAC OS 10.12.6 and prior, don't buy it if you upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.2 because I can barely get 1mbps sometimes and peak around 5-7

The card even had a little dust on it which makes me think this was returned at one time.

The card was easy to install on my Windows Vista-64bit system

This is a common issue, and I suspect it is NOT because the card is defective, but rather that it is inherent to the card

I wouldn't say I dislike the card, it's just that I'm a little disappointed of seeing all these unreal speed and performance claims that only occur under controlled, optimal, laboratory-like conditions, which are not usually what you get at the typical household.

Card works great, no problems.

Before that was an amazing card, but right now is useless

Great wireless card, very easy installation.

Installation was easy (if you know how to install a modern graphics card, it's pretty much the same procedure with a different slot)

Good card until early December 2017 when a windows 10 update doesnt work anymore

Apparently the card just has issues with Windows 10 in general, as can be seen by other reviews and other forum posts

This card is amazing

There's no other performance bottleneck for either system.)Overall, for most users this card is fine.

Great card, I gave it 4 stars because I find myself longing for an external antenna

See my latest post regarding this card.

Its a pricey card but knowing what I know, its a keeper.

I would AVOID this card if you don't know how to do that.--------------------------------This card has been frustrating to figure out.

didn't use driver included on CD, I just installed the card and when the computer booted up windows automatically installed the driver and the card has been working perfect ever since

However, this card has proved me wrong.

Reading up on the recent tech and products like this wireless card led me to bite the bullet and give it a shot, I am now getting consistent max speeds for my allotted bandwidth and have yet to unexpectedly disconnect with it

I love the card, no issues and works great on Windows 10.

The wireless card seems to work well enough, but cannot reach the stated speeds and is outperformed by the phone from the same location

This is an excellent Wi-Fi card that is also reasonably priced, and as such I recommend it without reservation

helpfulUpdate 4/3/2017:Card still works great, the custom computer this card is in has been retired to file server duty and now runs Windows server 2008 R2 instead of windows 10

Card works great, no problems.

This is by far the best wireless network card I have ever used.

This card is incredibly unreliable

The design of the card seems to be more advanced than some more expensive wireless cards with the ability to have "regular" sized cards ( form factor issues) that also allow for the narrow card slots more common in business sized PC's ( less than a third of the regular desktop size).So, it was a plus to see the design improvements

Anyway, I was pretty bummed that I couldn't get this card to work after 2 hours of messing with it

I had an old G card from the Co. that when I put into my new machine would not work,, driver issue.

This is a top performing card that fit my needs well.

I have used other wireless cards before and this was one of the easiest cards to install

This card works instantly after I installed it in my PC

Basically the card is useless on a W8.1 machine.

This card is a good option if you need a cheap, flexible wifi card to utilize that tiny, goofy looking PCI-E x1 slot on your motherboard

I really prefer to run a wire to my PC, but I had to go WiFi after a move, and this card is fantastic

This card does not work for 5GHz in Windows 10 64-bit (the only OS I tested it with).

I would no longer recommend this card for gamers as there are far faster cards out there such as wireless AC cards (requires an AC router to make a difference)

I wonder why this is listed as one of the best pci-e network cards available

Reliable Card, up until the latest Windows 10 update.

Much faster and more dependable than my cheap TP link wireless card that I was using previously.

This card is awesome

In spite of all this probably the best internal wifi card on the market as of 4/13/18

Very nice card

First the card does quasi-work with Windows 10.

Worked great until December 2017 then the card says it cannot be started(Code 10).Upon further investigation with tech support the issue is the new windows updates specifically windows fall creators

i'm not gonna pay $100+ for a faster network card and this one is well rated.-1 star because the bundled software seems to majorly impact startup time on my custom built W7Pro 64bit machine.

I bought this as an upgrade to what I'd thought to be a reliable Wifi card capable of handling gaming, was sorely disappointed.

Other than that, it's a great wi-fi card, at a steal of a price.

This little card is awesome

The issue here isn't the wireless card

Its the fastest desktop wireless card ive ever used

This is a fantastic network card and it supports very fast speeds

If your looking for an inexpensive wireless card for your PC, do yourself a favor and buy this card!Pros

Heck my DVD players have better cards........

Good card

Great card, status led doesn't even turn on

And I thought the USB adapter was unreliable at times, this card is just a waste of money.

I plugged this card in and boom...over

This card has been working with out fail for over a month now and it gets really good speeds providing that you have a good 802.11AC router

Fantastic wireless-n card.

This card has given me zero issues

I'm positive it was simply a driver setting not allowing the speeds I know the card was capable of.

I give this product two stars because "hate" is a very strong word, and while I very much dislike this card, I'm not in the neighborhood of 'hate' (got close a couple of times when work-critical disconnections happened).Sadly, this product failed to work for me

This card doesn't make your connection faster to your ISP.

This card would be quite useful still for users who do not wish to do extreme gaming ( basic internet based games are ok)

I installed had 3 bars across the house I pay for 50mb download speeds but get about 56 this card picked up 49 so far so good will rereview this in about a month

This card has a known compatibility issue with some motherboards that prevents the 5GHz band from showing up in Windows and TP-Link, years after its release, STILL has not bothered to release an updated driver that corrects the problem

this helps someone as it is a good card once you get it to work and stop conflicting

I would not game on WIFI prior to trying this fine card.

After hours of research I finally determined our old wireless card wasn't compatible with 10 as it gradually started to become less and less able to maintain a connection with our router, which appears to be the case with many older wifi cards.

Personally I like using high quality laptop half cards with an adapter to fit to desktop as these laptop cards are usually made better

this is a fast card compared to the N card that it replaced

Not a bad little card

An update would come out and my net card would stop working

this wireless card is AMAZING

It's a good card, I bought it to replace my TP-Link N900 that I had been using for about four years because that card started getting frequent ping spikes.

Works as advertised, when running a super long Ethernet cable across your house isn't an option, this card does the trick otherwise

Installed the card with no problems and it works fine.

This card works ok with Windows 7, but gives me lots of problems under Linux

His speeds are horrible, and the card is unreliable

once again great wireless card i use it in linux machines also the price is right you dont need a gazillion meg card if your isp only gives you 25mps a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and that is your isp

Not a bad card once you get the drivers installed

Recently, after updating Windows to the latest version, the card stopped working

There are cheaper priced cards (see TP-LINK TL-WDN4800) that may perform just as good as this card for 60% of the price of this card.

; this card works fine in Ubuntu Linux by installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package

This card worked like a charm.

I'd blame this on TP-Link for their lack of updates and support for this card based on their driver updates, even in this case being the latest and greatest card from them

I hope that changes soon and manufactures release good wireless ac wave 2 and ax desktop network cards and bridges without all the older crap

I've resorted to bridging my laptop's wireless through and ethernet cable, which is much faster then this card.

None of the other devices experience the issues I have had since I installed this lousy TP-Link card

This card doesn't work as advertised

Very good wireless card

All it told me was "can't connect to this network."I saw some other users who were able to get it working on Win10 via various BIOS hacks or whatnot, but that's more work than I'm willing to take on given that any future update could come along and knock the card back into incompatibility

It's just a poor performing card.

This card tops out at 878Mbps for me, which I am satisfied with

There are cheaper priced cards (see TP-LINK TL-WDN4800) that may perform just as good as this card for 60% of the price of this card.

This is an excellent wireless card for the money

Furiously I sent it back and decided I would be happy with my much slower, non wireless-AC network card

Works as advertised, when running a super long Ethernet cable across your house isn't an option, this card does the trick otherwise

Other devices (phone, etc) got 300mbps+.Installed the broadcom drivers, and boom, this card worked as expected with no install pains.

5 feet away from router on a 5Ghz wifi channel with no interference this card shows a massive latency, and constantly drops connection about ~5 minutes after download or upload

Well, at the time of my purchase, this cards did not have any reviews and since the brand did not look familiar to me, I felt somewhat apprehensive

So if you were to heed a word or a couple words of caution just stay away from this card, and this company, the card didn't get really bad until a month after the warranty expired(go figure)

Most stable wireless card I've ever used, but still regularly drops the signal

The TP-LINK Archer T9E AC1900 card is easy to install in a PCI slot and allows you to receive fast wireless internet, just like a laptop.

However when it came, I installed the card (no problem) in a W8.1 machine.

I'm sure this is a decent card, but with my router being a few feet away, I couldn't get a decent signal and use the bandwidth AC1900 promises

This card though works great, installed easy, and hasn't flaked out yet.

This card though works great, installed easy, and hasn't flaked out yet.

Otherwise, this card is overkill.

The card was very slow even on my very new computer

I think the card is fine but it did not work for me

great card

The card worked fine until I rebooted.

Not the fastest card out there but has been very stable under load

This card has a known compatibility issue with some motherboards that prevents the 5GHz band from showing up in Windows and TP-Link, years after its release, STILL has not bothered to release an updated driver that corrects the problem

My cellphone has a better Wireless card than this one

Maybe this card has some specific issue with the HP Envy PC I have

Great card if you need wireless for a desktop.

no a/c support although they do clearly state they only support b/g/n

This causes issues installing, as well as if you are tech savy enough to install it via drivers

Works as it described

Easily installed and still working fine as of summer 2014.

It's being severely bottlenecked by my internet speed, but it's going as fast as it can with low ping

I will be putting the slower, but reliable D-Link card back in this weekend

I'm using wireless-G and an inexpensive D-Link DI-624 router
