from completed build First Build, 2K Good Frames & Good Visuals
Works better than the USB Wifi adapters but I had some trouble with the drivers. I spent quite a while trying to get it to work and ended up needing to avoid downloading drivers for it since I'm using Windows 10.
from completed build Popcorn's Epic PC
Switching from a crappy old USB receiver, I have to say that it's so worth the extra money to buy a PCIe WiFi receiver.
from completed build First build
I don't really use wifi because I run cat 6 to every room in my house, but it's something I'd rather have and not need than to need and not have. Tested it out on my att fiber optics 1,000mbps internet, was only getting about 300mpbs speeds with the router sitting right next to my pc. With the ethernet hooked into the pc I get 980mbps speeds
from completed build There are many like it, but this one is MINE. My Meshify C
Good reception even through a few walls to the back of the house. I did splurge on this wifi card because it is red and pretty; I could have gotten away with the blue PCB one but due to my current wifi speeds; but my tax refund had come back and felt I had a little extra to burn.
from completed build Vulpin RGB
Very solid wireless network card. The fact the card itself is connected to some coaxial (albeit very small coaxial) style rabbit ears with a magnet for it to stick to the top of cases and such is neat.
from completed build Custom Gaming Rig
solid connection, supports high speeds
from completed build Voltron
The PCE-AC56 is a very awesome wireless card. It supports up to 1200Mbs Wi-Fi, but I only have 50Mbs, so I can't really test its claims. The Wi-Fi antenna are great and they give me full bars whereas my old card only got two.
My only complaint is that it didn't come in a more neutral color such as black, but it is barely noticeable under my GPU.

This is an amazing card if you can get it to work, I could get it to work on the 2.4GHz network, but the 5GHz wasn't showing up for my router. I contacted ASUS for support, but they said that it was the router at my house. I looked further into it and found out that it is the channel of the 5GHz network that needed to be changed. I changed the networks 5GHz to a different channel through the router settings, and it works perfect now.
from completed build DCovert Computers M5A5
Fast & has very good range for a PCIE card and included magnetic antenna base is a very nice feature
