Got this last year for $110. The Realtek WiFi card is non functional with terrible drivers. Spent another $35 on a tplink WiFi usb card. Don't get this.
Looks like a fine budget B550 board. Great upgrade for those w/ a decent CPU/RAM/GPU but still on A320/A520, B350/B450, and X370/X470.
Be advised, though: The PCIe x16 slot on this board is at PCI position 1, not PCI position 0.
If you happen to use a Graphics card that is 3 slots or more (7900XTX, 4090, etc) with this board, you will suffocate your GPU in most mATX cases (if it fits at all).
If you're looking for an affordable B550 board that can support a big Gen4+ GPU, I'd look at the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi for 5$ more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089D1YG11
I ended up getting that board to build around my Sapphire Nitro RX 7900 XTX, a 3.5+ slot card.
