Review: Buying my third one now....and not because they break - I don't usually take the time to do reviews for things unless they are horrific or terrific. This is obviously a terrific device. Long story short, we bought a new house and changed over to Fios. At my old house I had my "office" (adult playroom) in the basement and had Ethernet. I'm on the top floor now and the WiFi router is in the basement in the utility room. I had to buy a wireless card for my main PC so I opted for this as it sounded pretty good. Installed it and about 20 minutes later I was ordering one for my son. I had no idea that WiFi was this fast. I had plans to get extenders or repeaters and stuff like that because of the distance and low signal, but the antennas do a good job allowing you to tweak it in (I think that the Windows store has a strength meter) so I saved the hassle and cost of doing that. Plus I don't want my WiFi bleeding over to the entire neighborhood. Anyway the wife's computer just took a dirt nap and we put together a new box for her and installed an old WiFi card.....it works....technically, but it is not even close to the same level of performance (due to being only 802.11n capable). I'm paying for gigabit Ethernet and Verizon delivers the full speed; why would I not want to have as much of that available as possible? There are cheaper alternatives out there....they may work fine, but this is one of those items that I researched that I half expected to deliver about 50-70% of what it advertised and it delivered about 90-95%. I hit over 400Mb/s down and about 350-400Mb.s up over 5G (using Ookla) and I'm far enough away that other 5G devices that I own can barely connect. I love these things. As far as installation and drivers are concerned I opened the box, slapped it in, rebooted and connected. Now I don't know about specific MB configurations creating issues, but I didn't install any of the official drivers or utilities because it did everything I needed with the Win10 stock stuff. I believe that my son checked out the Asus ones and their utilities, but said that there was no difference. I can't guarantee that everyone will have the same experience, but I've got a new card coming in a few hours and will be installing it into a third computer and expect to have the same hassle-free, extremely gratifying experience. If not I'll update my review. There's just not a lot of stuff out there that really lives up to the sales hype or even the full level of the basic standards. This is one of those devices that does in my opinion and it's worth the cost. Couldn't be happier with the performance and ease of installation. It just works. No screwing around, no digging into special settings or menus or such....plug it in and connect to your WiFi. Its how stuff is supposed to work. Review: Excellent Wi-Fi PCI Express Adapter - I've had bad experiences with wireless setups before. Many of problems with wireless is slower internet speed, internet cutting out from time to time. Its just been a hassle. To everyone reading this, steer far away from USB adapters! I broke my brand new Netgear and decided to open it up, it has the smallest receivers inside. This Asus card is at least two to three times more powerful! I'm very pleased as I came from Netgear USB dongles that would drop connections randomly throughout the day/week. Ever since I bought this, no problems at all, not a single connection dropped! Streaming and gaming is flawless, I couldn't have asked for more. However, if you are a hard core gamer, this may not be for you, as your probably looking for a direct Ethernet connection, otherwise its fine. If you are not tech savy and can not open up your computer and install it, you may have some difficult times. However, there is nothing wrong with the product as thats how it is supposed to be. After all, its a PCI-e internet adapter. Excellent PCI Express Adapter. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I own the Asus RT-AC68W and difference is NIGHT AND DAY! I have much greater range than I used, however it does not beat a direct connection with Ethernet, however I'm very impressed. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: Easy to install if you know what your doing Lights indicate that its working Simple software install and your up and going, it took me 5 minutes to install and get the card working. Superior range and speed compared to adapters like Linkys and Netgear. Good quality, 95% of it is pure metal casing. Cons: Requires access to inside the computer. Not suitable for a non-tech savy person. Besides that, I think its an awesome card. It really does preform well over other brands. I would recommend this to anyone who is able to install this on the motherboard. ## Features - Provides an extensible design that enables Service prioritization for data.

Fast and with a Great Range. *by H***R on September 29, 2015* I love this wifi adapter! It was easy to install with no problems. I have used it on both bands: the 2.4gHz band and the 5 gHz band. It is located about 50 feet from my TP-Link Archer C5 router. I have found that the 5 gHz band gives me slightly faster speeds and with a lot less network congestion. My ISP provides 66.26 Mbps download speeds as tested from my cable modem to computer #1 via a direct wired connection. This Asus PCE-AC56 Adapter consistently provides the same 66.26 Mbps download speeds. It uses the Windows wireless zero configuration Utility which is native to Windows 7 automatically which I like. The Asus wireless utility software works well in allowing me to choose which band and which SSID I want to use and in providing a limited amount of feedback on the device. Over the years I have had to problem solve all kinds of hardware and software problems which I hate, and with this device there have been NO PROBLEMS which is the main reason I like it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2505680-asus-pce-ac56-dual-band-2x2-ac1300-wifi-pcie-adapter](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2505680-asus-pce-ac56-dual-band-2x2-ac1300-wifi-pcie-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
