This network card should not even be in your catalogue as it is so out of date! It can't even pick up a box that is 6 meters away!
New 802.11ac Wi-Fi standardThe ASUS PCE-AC51 Network Adapter features a 5th generation Broadcom chip that supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi and delivers up to 3 times the performance of 802.11n. It has two frequency bands, one at 2.4 GHz and the other at 5 GHz. Also, the PCE-AC51 remains compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards and can work well with existing devices. The high-speed design of the PCE-AC51 improves the Wi-Fi signal by 150% compared to an equivalent generic product. This provides full coverage and avoids dead zones so that data flow is not interrupted. |

This network card should not even be in your catalogue as it is so out of date! It can't even pick up a box that is 6 meters away!
I have been using a netgear wifi usb stick for about 7 years now and I wanted to change to a PCI-E wifi card to gain in stability, on the advice of a friend.
The antenna is simply not powerful enough, no matter the speed announced on the packaging, if the card can not receive the signal of the box correctly, no interest ...
The only thing I can think of is that my wifi usb key detects a dozen boxes around it, whereas this one only detects (barely) my livebox 5 which is only 5m away with very few obstacles in the way.
I'm going to try to return the product, hoping to get my point across.
The installation was rather simple at first, but then it was a big problem because the AC protocol was simply impossible to obtain, or only for a few minutes, which caused repeated interruptions.
After hours of pulling out my hair and testing different drivers and configurations, nothing really worked.
I'm not sure if this is the only case, the product is not defective but just very bad. To be avoided.
My usb key that was a network card worked better, the card is well connected I tried it on 3 fixed pc's but the network card throttles the flow and cuts the connection every 5 minutes.
Product to avoid.
Simple, in the data sheet it says that the card is 802.11n
when in reality it is not, which means that many people like me who have a freebox revolution that is 802.11n cannot connect with this equipment.
I thank Asus/ldlc for not specifying this on the product.
And in case someone managed to make it work, well done, either you are very talented or you are a magician because even after advanced modifications in the peripherals of the wifi card, nothing works.
After the rather simple installation of the product, and an even simpler installation of the drivers, the network card is ready to use. But these are its only two qualities, because everything else is only marginally functional. First problem, and not the least, the network card spends its time deciding to disconnect itself, then to start again only if the computer is completely rebooted. Moreover, it capriciously chooses between 2.4GHz and 5 GHz networks, but mostly in a completely arbitrary way, and without telling you in advance on which of the two it will accept to connect... not to mention the frankly limited speed.
In short, for a budget of 30 euros, this card does not do the trick at all, better to turn to TP-Link which, for the same price or even cheaper, will have much more reliable and efficient products.
The card works next to the box but as soon as I move away from it (where all my peripherals work fine, loses the connection and crashes the system)... The card sees the wifi, with 5 bars, but can't connect to it and the system crashes afterwards...
The crashes persist and multiply when trying to install the official asus drivers.
Never had so many problems with a simple wifi card
Well received . some things don't fit . Not even a single screw included .
Like some of the 1 star comments I have had the same problem of permanent disconnection and it is very annoying. It's easy to see that there's a conflict somewhere. By searching a bit on the net (fortunately I have another connection source) I found the solution and it worked.
Right click on the windows logo in the taskbar and click on Command Prompt (admin)
then type in the order and without fault the 3 following lines:
ipconfig / release
ipconfig / flushdns
ipconfig / renew
if the result is not stable, stay on the command prompt (still in admin) and type the following 6 lines until the end and restart your computer only at the end
netsh winsock reset
netsh winhttp reset proxy
netsh winhttp reset tracing
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ipv4 reset catalog
netsh int ipv6 reset catalog
good surfing
Repeatedly losing connections and jumping throughput. This does not happen to me when I use another ASUS PCE AC56 network card
