This beastly looking card has freed me of ugly, trippable wires, and has been delivering download and upload speeds that match my hardline

My desktop is hard-wired into my router as it is the most prudent connection for me - they sit next to each other

Still nowhere as good or fast as wired ethernet and never saw anything over 866Mbps even on 5GHz and only a few feet away from the wi-fi router

Fortunately, this adapter has been absolutely amazing!I installed the adapter in a matter of minutes and was on the internet like I was wired right in to the router.

I have found that this Wi-Fi card performs every bit as well as my office computer with a hard-wired ethernet connection

and my wifi speeds are as fast as my wired connection.

I noticed no ping drop or packet loss switching to this from being hard wired.

I am still using it for the server because it requires a hard-wired connection.

To me, this is a bit redundant since anything I want to have the optimal internet speed gets hard wired to the modem.

Get speeds close to hard wired Ethernet

I am a fan of hard wiring any desktops or other devices where possible due to gigabit speeds and reliability, however, when I purchased my new home, there is not an easy way to run wires, so it that is going to need to wait until some other renovations are done as well.

Amazing if you can't hard wire and runs games flawlessly with no lag.

Faster than hard wired

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

Installation was a snap as long as there is a PCI-E slot available.
