Asus PCE-AC88
 | Outdated Product Flagship 2017 PCIe dual-band wireless network adapter for desktop PCs. The manufacturer is positioning itself as a reliable and super-efficient solution of the highest price category for establishing a connection with a remote wireless router. This eliminates the need for cabling and creates a high-speed Wi-Fi network that supports all current standards (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac). Unlike similar low-end products, this model has 4 removable antennas, is equipped with a special remote antenna stand with a magnetic mount and can operate in MIMO 4x4 mode when using 1024-QAM modulation. According to the manufacturer, in the 5 GHz band (802.11ac) this provides data transfer rates up to 2167 Mbps, and in the 2.4 GHz band up to 1000 Mbps. It is worth noting that in order to obtain such values in fact..., a high-speed dual-band wireless router supporting Broadcom 4x4 NitroQAM technology is required. The Asus PCE-AC88 wireless network adapter is highly compatible with any motherboard equipped with PCIe slots, it can work in x1, x2, x8, x16 form factor slots. Supports current security protocols WPA, WEP, WPA2. Designed for installation in home or office PCs requiring high network access speeds, it is able to cope with resource-intensive use cases such as online gaming while streaming 4K video. |

Wi-Fi classes in routers: what they are and how they affect Internet speedDeciphering and analysis of all current classes of routers
Wi-Fi without blind areas: stable signal throughout the house or apartmentSimple and efficient ways to ensure stable Wi-Fi signal in small and large rooms
I was very skeptical about WiFi adapters. I didn't want to run a cable from the router to the PC in my apartment, so I decided to make the purchase. I chose this model based on the fact that it has two bands, four powerful antennas, and a PCI Express slot. Receives the signal from the router through the wall excellently, with minimal delays, and the operation of the adapter is stable (on Windows 10), not once has the internet disconnected (oh miracle), the internet speed is at maximum (I have up to 100 Mbps, showing 94 Mbps on my PC). Signal reception also depends on the router, of course. So don't skimp on these two devices! Another advantage is that you can extend the antennas using an extender. The length of the extension cord is not completely satisfactory. But it's not critical. Again, you can buy other wires, it seems to me.  Roman: |
