    Do not buy this if you have windows 10 or are upgrading anytime soon. The 5G doesn't work on it and the connection is so slow its just not worth it. The drivers and utility are all for windows 7\8. Avoid.

    I've had issues with several wifi cards in the being slow due to having weak signal strength. Suffering through dismally slow speeds and looking for a solution for some time. This one is finally a card t hat can go as fast as my internet connection speed and can on a network-transfer exceed 300 mbps. That makes it worth it.

    I don't know what was wrong. I updated the drivers, installed all software, checked my modem/router and no luck. It just didn't work. I have moved onto an external network adapter and it works perfectly.

    High Speed WIFI

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Some negative things about this card was having to hunt down the correct drivers for Windows 10. The other bad thing is having an open slot for your card. If you are a gamer with a high-end system and have used all your PCIe slots, between sound cards, GPU'S, and PCIe drives then there is no more room for a card like this. In that case you are forced to use a USB 3.0 network adapter. The T9E delivers on performance. It gives you fantastic range, stability, and speeds desired for a current home networking setup. Most of all it gives network setups the ability to perform well where ethernet isn't an option. This mean gaming over WIFI is a reality with this adapter.

    NO WINDOWS 10 Driver

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm sure it's a fine PCI wireless card for windows 8.1 and such, but I was surprised that they really have no drivers at all for WIndows 10. I was hoping there would be some work around but after a few hours I accepted defeat.

    Pathetic bandwidth/ No drivers

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After multiple hours of research and budget options, I decided to purchase this product. My machine is custom, and towards the higher end of the spectrum. My ISP is Google Fiber, and my speed tops out around 980 down 980 up depending on the time of day. My router is the Asus AC 2400 wireless router, and sits about 3 feet with no blockage from my computer.. I'm also well versed in routing and switching and consider myself to be good at it, as it is what I do for a living. With that being said, I was excited to install this network adapter. As a few of the review replies from the company state, you download drivers from their website and let windows install them. After following those directions step by step, to the letter, my wireless speed is 35 down/ 6 up. I've spent about 5 hours on multiple forums (including TP link's, and have seen masses of people complaining that their Windows 10 drivers are garbage. This network adapter does not work as advertised. I have tried many different drivers, everything on the TP link website and many different generic Broadcom driver sets which were recommended by many forums. TP link forums are littered with people which have complained that they still have not released a driver that works fully with Windows 10. Even after trying all the different drivers, this adapter will not achieve speeds any larger than 35down/6up. It is advertised to be capable of 1.3gbs on the 5Ghz band, which obviously my router is FULLY capable of. With my ISP giving me speeds of well over 900 down and up, it is disappointing that I have wasted my time with this junk equipment. If I could give negative stars, I would. Please do not waste your time with this adapter. It is WAY more of a headache than it should be.
