Excellent PCIe card

I was forced to buy a wireless card + BT as the integrated module to my motherboard Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe had its two antennas (WiFi and BT) hs, bits was too late and broke. Since the price of antennas were as expensive as a PCIe card, the choice was quickly made.
This card has excellent reception (5 bars) and above all, stable while the nine-box is on the ground floor. My previous module only TV reception 2-3 bars max. The Bluetooth connection also seems to be good range (I tested it by connecting a Wiimote to emulate games, which requires a good connection).

However, for the BT works, it is obligatory to link its rectangular 9-pin USB connector to the motherboard using the supplied cable (not USB!). Without him, it is only a wireless card without BT ... rather strange that BT does not pass via the PCIe port. The standard USB port welded to the card is a bonus.

On this map, this is an Intel module. I was used to Broadcom modules but both are equal in my opinion. The map was immediately recognized without the need to install drivers on Windows 8.1. Wifi and bluetooth driver CD is provided but the wifi driver is outdated, it is better to download via the website ma-config.com

In summary, this is a great card with rugged connectors that screw to a single magnetic antenna. It can be estimated that there will never be a bad contacts
