Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The install is a little bit of a pain in the *, however, that is dells fault as the placed the wifi card directly under the keyboard instead of the underside of the laptop. Great investment to allow and older model laptop or computer to use 2.

Bluetooth also works fine. Then in an anti-static bubble wrap bag.

The speed is at least double what it was, and acts much more responsively. Very good speeds when close to the router. Perfect and fast shipping.



Cons

The card stops working every few hours (still connected to ap but not passing frames) the only solution is to disable and reenable the adapter (radio off/on) the jitter is awful, going into 1000ms+ and with the router next to it, i see no improvement ...  Read More

Had a bit of difficulty trying to get adapter to install on a refurb dell lattitude e5420 laptop.
