GIGABYTE WiFi 6E GC-WBAX210 (2x2 802.11ax/ Tri-Band WiFi/Bluetooth 5.2/ PCIe Expansion Card)

Installation time less than 20 minutes. It is installed by finding an empty PCIe slot on your motherboard, removing the metal plate for that slot, sliding the adapter into the slot you picked, and then screwing in the metal cover of the adapter into the case. There is also a USB header cable that you plug into your motherboard, and an additional USB port on this WiFi card that you can plug USB accessories into.Only problem I encountered was that the metal plate cover on this adapter did not line up exactly with my computer's case, which prevented screwing in the WiFi card to the case properly, BUT this was not a problem on the card's behalf, rather my case was shaped a little irregularly. Problem was easily solved by slightly bending the metal plate cover on the WiFi card so that the screw holes would line up.It worked right away upon booting my computer and there was no requirement to install any drivers.I purchased this WiFi/Bluetooth card mainly for the purpose of replacing a malfunctioning Bluetooth USB adapter that had trouble maintaining a consistent flow of sound to my AirPods, so I'm happy how that problem is now gone, and in my experience, the Bluetooth range is very good. I was able to walk roughly 30 feet away from my computer before any sound began to cut out. The included antenna is also useful, because it gives a better Internet connection than you might be able to get without one of this kind—for example, the computer is placed underneath a desk, but you can just move the antenna to a higher point so that the desk doesn't obstruct the quality of WiFi and/or a Bluetooth connection. The base of the antenna attaches magnetically to metal objects, so if you want to just keep it attached directly to the body of the computer, you can do that too.

Extremely easy and quick to install into your PC. Perfect Wifi card for someone who needs one quick and one that works reliably with no risk of running into issues.Performance - Fast and reliable performance, great connectivity on bluetooth without fail. Retains a strong connection and above average performance on Wifi testing.Installation - Very intuitive with markings on the wires and grooves making it easy to install. Align the cut outs to securely plug it into your PCLe slot, or if needed, your spare graphics card slot also works depending on the motherboard.Accessories - Antenna that comes with the card is very high quality and has a magnetic base to stick onto your PC case for optimal positioning. Screws onto the card with a wire for more flexible positioning.Drivers - Quickly install the drivers from online by searching up the Wifi card. Wifi is then able to connect immediately with no issues. Same goes for bluetooth. Very happy with the performance of this item.

After going through multiple well reviewed USB wifi sticks that were horrible, I was getting desperate. Ethernet is best, obviously, but not available in my study. I've been waiting to review this product but it's never disconnected yet so things are looking good. Finally, something that just works.Installation can be tricky. Get a static bracelet and for the love of God shut down first. If you've never opened your case, get a friend who builds PCs. Get your mobo's user's manual with the diagram off the manufacturer's site which means identifying the make and model which is no mean feat sometimes, but also open up your case and have a look. Modern graphics cards are immense so that first PCIe x 1 slot was covered entirely. The second in my case still put the wifi card super close to the graphics card. We're talking one mm of clearance on that fan. I had the forethought to stand the case up before closing it and the graphics card's weight pulled it down enough to close that so the fan would strike. And the third slot has the audio header just right there. Really, ASRock? I pushed the card flush onto the jumper anyway and hoped. It's not fully seated but the slot connects. And it works.The reason for using a USB header as well as the expansion slot isn't explained. But some looking online found that this is because this card is really two items in one, wifi and bluetooth. And a PCIe slot will only accommodate one. So the cable to the USB header is for the other. Check that your mobo has a free USB header. This is also likely why there are two screw on connectors to the antenna.The two drivers off the manufacturer's website are essential, again, one for the wifi and one for the bluetooth. Download them first before you install and stop using the stick or whatever else you were using. You'll have two new devices in Device Manager and neither works. Win10's default drivers didn't even try and you're now disconnected so Windows Update won't help. Install each driver and they just function.The antenna is magnetic so it stays on top of the case, which is nice. I don't care much about speed. I just want the connection to stay up and so far, it always has. No more giant lags on voice comms. No endless connection cycling. If this keeps up, this card is worth 100x it's price. Getting an ethernet jack fished into the wall is really expensive.

It is very easy to install on the computer and picks up the Wi-Fi signal without issue, even though it is a good distance away. Install and it gets set right up without difficulty.

Bluetooth was a bit difficult to install, but it works very well. Installation was straightforward. It’s pretty much plug it in and go and the antenna is magnetized which made it easy to stick on my monitor arm. Once everything was set up, I noticed a significant improvement in speed and stability compared to my older Wi-Fi card, and the Bluetooth connection works flawlessly with my peripherals and I don't get the same drops as I did with my MSI card.
