Overview
A desktop owner without built-in wireless gets an Intel-based Wi-Fi card for a PCIe slot, paired with a high-performance antenna from AORUS. Two transmit and two receive streams carry data on three bands, and MU-MIMO supports several devices at once.
Choose it to add the newest Wi-Fi band and low-latency wireless to a desktop that has none. The limit is the listing itself: one field names an older protocol, the interface field says Bluetooth, and no operating system support is given.
Who it's for
A builder adding wireless to a desktop, or an upgrader moving off an older network card, will use the extra band and the antenna. Laptop owners, and buyers on a router without the matching band, will not reach the top speeds.
Pros and cons
- Bluetooth built in
- Intel wireless module
- Dual-stream antenna design
- PCIe interface card
- Desktop only, needs a slot
- Operating system support not listed
- Protocol field names an older standard
- Dimensions look like package size
Performance notes
Wi-Fi speed depends on the router and the band it supports. The third band adds uncongested channels, while the older bands reach farther through walls. Two transmit and receive streams set the ceiling on throughput, and antenna placement affects signal strength.
