The card should 7490 Connecting to a Fritz box at greater distances.
As can be seen the card with driver CD (installation driver and software utility, uninstall and manual), 2 slot brackets, 3 antennas and magnetic antenna is delivered. The structure of the card with the heatsink is clean and high quality, as well as antennas and walking. The installation under Windows 7 prof. ran quickly and smoothly, it was no reboot required and the card immediately took the service on.
I have the utility (English only) installed, and was thus able to optimize the adjustments. It is possible to regulate the respective services, and align the antennas based on the connection quality for the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz band. The utility only has the sufficient three rudimentary functions: displaying the networks, adaptation of transmit power and interpretation of links. However, changes to the settings take a few seconds until the card again the link receives.
Earlier maps were over two floors with concrete floors in apartment buildings in 2 respectively located at the far end of a corridor rooms link speeds depending on the weather situation with the Fritz! Box 7270 with 3 + 9dbi additional antennas fluctuating between 8-54 Mbps (1-2 strokes on the scale) build. The PCE-AC66 established at 71dB fixed 58 Mbps in 7270 and carved in stone 117 Mbps at 7490 by swiftly carried out initial setup. The stability of the connection is more impressive than the speed.
Should I use the connection speed for example can still increase by optimizing the 5GHz connection, I would like to update the here. Likewise, if I even try to perform a test of Nahverbindungsgeschwindigkeit.
My Conclusion:
None of the earlier maps settled so quickly, very smoothly and unspectacular install. The link performance I feel taking into account the local conditions as very satisfactory.
My rating:
Packaging: +++ (I find waiving window plastic sense)
Processing: +++++
Installation: +++++
Function: +++++
