This just replaces a pci card right? I use this to pick up internet from my router? I'm a bit new to these things...

Just started looking for one of these, it looks like a fair deal. It's $38 minus $10 promo code = $28, minus $10 rebate card to get it down to $18.
Some negative reviews, but it sounds like downloading the latest drivers from ASUS takes care of most issues. EDIT: Not all issues are solved by latest drivers, apparently. It is very inconsistent at detecting my 5 GHz signal, while the Netgear WNDA3100 detects it perfectly every time. Last edited by spycake; 02-07-2013 at 05:18 AM.. |

Eh, I decided to buy it. I was looking at the cheap ones for my new build, but I thought why not pay a bit more for an incredibly better product...
Best Buy fiasco

TRASH!
Received the product yesterday. Totally Trash! The signal and speed are MUCH worse than the FREE TINY Tenda Wireless USB Adapter! http://slickdeals.net/f/5565010-N...dapter-FAR |

I too am having regrets about this adapter -- it is very sensitive about picking up 5 GHz signals.
I also bought the Netgear WNDA3100 adapter, a better deal anyway ($1 cheaper without needing a rebate), and it picked up my 5 GHz signal immediately, no problems: http://slickdeals.net/f/5838238-N...p=57347626 |

I use this unit on my PC on 5Ghz band, and I get 270 to 300 mbps consistently.

When it detected my 5 GHz network, this ASUS unit worked great. However, it would not detect my 5 GHz very often. Tried multiple machines and OSs, using latest ASUS drivers. FWIW, my router is not simultaneous dual-band -- I have to set either 2.4 or 5 GHz. The ASUS unit would always see it when I set it to 2.4, just not 5, even after rebooting router, PC, etc. Like I said, it saw it sometimes, which was promising yet frustrating.
The Netgear one I linked above has not had any trouble finding the same 5 GHz network. So that's my frame of reference here. |

no it doesnt... no consumer adapter gets 270-300mbps. you might be "connected" at 270-300mbps, but i would be surprised if you actually got more than 80mbps using a speed benchmark |
