Dang this thing works good
I was having problems with my wifi in my home office. At times when I least expected it, the wifi signal would be lost. The main problem is it would go down while I was compiling programs via vpn remotely to a customers location.I tried on of the little thumb drive wifi and it would see the inbound cable router hub only 1/2 the time. Before going to a wifi extender I thought I would give this big guy a try. My house is 2600 square feet the cable modem is on one side of the house and my office is totally on the other. I hooked this guy up in the pci slot and moved the external antenae up about three more feet. It has a magnetic base and on line I have seen it attached to the computer with the magnet. Maybe I am a little old school but magnets on my computer does not sound like a good idea.This hardware works really well with very little packet loss compare to hard wiring it into the router.Now my wife wants one for her laptop. I had to explain to her about the pci card.. Oh well.But really if you needing a robust wifi to put on your desktop AND you have an empty pci spot.Purchase this guy you won't be sorry

Easy Install
For the price this product was worth it. Quick delivery and easy install. I was not looking for PCI network card but saw the price and order to replace the old network card that had reach the end of its time.

Great on a Linux Mint Machine
I had been trying to get my CUDY Wifi NIC working again. It stopped after my last update on Linux Mint (20.1 I believe) After hours of trying to load it, I gave up and found a different one that would work on Linux. This one looked claimed to do it so I bought it. The documentation that came with it took me to their website it is geared to Windows PC's. So I contacted support via email to ask where the Linux instructions were.While waiting for their reply, I found linux.brostrend.com. I followed the instructions posted there and the NIC installed on my first attempt! I am running Mint on a Dell Inspiron 5566 with an SSD Drive and 16GB RAM. It screams! I would highly recommend this NIC especially if you are running Linux.BTW: Support got back to me shortly after I got it installed with the same link I found. Their response was less that 6 hours if memory serves me right.

Great quality, slow card
The good:It's well packagedIt's built wellThe antennae and base are built like tanksThe antennae cables are thickWindows 10 picked up the card immediately and it just workedThe bad:The card advertises up to 867 Mbps on a 5Ghz network. Mine struggled to reach 200 Mbps while my old card easily hits 350-400 Mbps.I installed the (older) drivers from the website to see if that was the issue and the card stopped working entirely. It wouldn't even connect to either 5Ghz or 2Ghz networks.After about an hour of tinkering, I gave up and reinstalled my old card.The summary:If you don't really care about getting > 200Mbps, or your internet provider doesn't support that speed, then I can absolutely recommend this card. I'm more than happy with the quality of everything from the packaging to the soldering. If you want those faster speeds though, I'd stay away.Edit: Changing this review to 3 stars due to good customer support.

BROS TREND PCIE WIFI CARD WORKS AND LOOKS AMAZING.
I picked this pcie wifi card because of the ease of use and because of the specs. Its simple open the box plug in the card screw in the 2 antennas and then either insert the disc or go on the website to update the drivers. All in all it took me 5 minutes to plug it in and download the drivers. After that 5 minutes I had clear full wifi signal. Amazing product. Very happy with what I got and the affordable price I paid.

Speeds are absolute trash.
I have gig internet and I’m the same area I pull down 400-500Mbps with other devices. This piece of junk advertises 286 but barely pulls over 40.

awesome indoor wi-fi router antenna
This external antenna covers my hard drive tower which is set in another room, through many dry walls not metal framing on the same floor, but is not in a direct line-of-sight with our residential 5 GHz wi-fi router. No information lag time. I have not tested to TX/Rx it from the basement which is two-story below from the router. I applaud the antenna design. Thanks for making an affordable antenna for my home built PC project.

Válido para Linux y Windows. Solo es compatible con la banda de 2.4 GHz. Precio en la media
Se trata de un adaptador WiFi 6 USB 3.0 de la marca BrosTrend, concretamente el modelo AX5 en color negro.El adaptador, pese a su sencillez, presenta una correcta calidad de fabricación. Solicité este adaptador por estar especialmente diseñado para Windows y Linux, de manera que es válido para Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi, Debian, Linux Mint, LMDE, Pop!_OS, Zorin, MX Linux y Linux Lite.El kit se compone de:- Adaptador USB BrosTrend AX5- ManualLa instalación es sencilla. En el caso de Windows, los drivers ya están integrados en el propio adaptador, por lo que en principio se autoinstalarán. En el caso de Linux, tendremos que descargar los drivers desde la URL suministrada por el fabricante e instalarlos, de manera que, una vez los hemos instalado, tan solo quedaría conectar el adaptador a cualquier puerto USB que tengamos libre (no se recomienda conectarlo a un Hub USB). Por cierto, señalar que, en el caso de que nuestro ordenador ya disponga de WiFi integrado, es conveniente deshabilitarlo :)El adaptador permite una velocidad de 286 Mbps en la banda de 2,4GHz. No es compatible con la banda de 5 GHz.Lo mejor que puedo decir es que funciona correctamente; de hecho, he notado un aumento de velocidad en la Raspberry Pi. En cuanto al precio, me parece adecuado, así que por mi parte de momento estoy satisfecho con el adaptador.Espero que esta opinión te haya sido útil :)

Instalación rápida, funcionamiento a la primera, sin necesidad de instalar drivers (W10)
La presentación y acabado del producto son muy buenos, he instalado sin ningún problema, desembalar, pinchar y a funcionar. La posibilidad de tener la base móvil para las antenas es un plus importante, ya que permite colocarlas en posiciones con mayor cobertura de señal wifi. El salto de usar mi antigua tarjeta 2.4Ghz a está que tiene la opción de 5, es sustancial, la he usado poco tiempo, pero además parece que es muy estable en su funcionamiento.

BrosTrend 1200Nbps, PCIe Network Card for Desktop PC for Windows 10. Great Product
The BrosTrend 1200 product was easier to install than I expected. I have ordered two of these products in the last few days. The delivery was exceptional and installation seemed easy than I expected. As I am over 70 years old and not especially computer literate, the product worked very well and the internet delivery speeds were excellent.I have no real criticism, but, It might be helpful if you are able to inform your customers with a simple instructional brief on the installation and loading procedure.However when I installed and loaded the software it took about 15 minutes, for each computer.Anyway, thanks for your product, we hope to get a lot of use from it.Best Regards
