Works directly under ubuntu (19.10)

I've been using this card to get the intel module to put in a ldlc laptop to replace the wifi n module. Works without a problem the first time. I don't have an access point in wifi6, but in AC it works fine.

Product failure

The product does not work systematically at startup I am obliged to unplug it and plug it back in with the computer running so that it is recognized at the next startup, the bluetooth function works but sometimes has problems, and does not work systematically, moreover LDLC have declared that the product worked after having sent them the product I'm not sure if this is a good product or a bad one.

        Doesn't really work

        This wifi card has not improved my wifi speed, even though I had a wifi 3 card (the card is wifi 6) where the speed is counted in kilobytes/s.
        Otherwise, the card is nice and easy to install, but the antenna can take up a lot of space.

        runs under win 10

        no problem downloading drivers from the site, which offers 2 drivers, one for wifi and the other for bluetooth.

        I was connecting with my phone until I'm upstairs the Orange 5 box on the ground floor separated by the ceiling and maybe a plasterboard wall I think I'm 4 metres max, but the 5Ghz band was not reaching me with a wifi dongle that I had tested just before so I expected to have just 2.4Ghz. finally with this equipment, possibly thanks to the more elaborate antienne, I get the 5Ghz band.
        I did a speed test with it and it gives: 450 mbps download and 380 upload. bearing in mind that I have 1.9Gbit/s arriving in fibre on the box.
        Be careful, as the card will be connected not only to the PCIE 1X but also to a usb extension power supply on the motherboard, so you need this space.

        Recognised by Linux

        It was my main criterion that this card be recognized by my ubuntu. without having to manipulate A previous comment had said that it was recognized by Linux and it is the case without doing anything my card is recognized. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a big deal, it's a great card. For the performance, I am about 10 m from my box, I have a livebox 5 (orange) and theoretically I have 500 Mbps of speed (wire speed checked) and there I have 491 Mbps in download and 470 Mbps in upload which is very acceptable for me (there is no obstacle between the box and my computer like a wall my computer is in the same room as my box). The delivery went well, so why one star less? simply because the bracket screw was missing. I don't know if it's LDLC's or Gigabyte's fault but the product was not complete. I was disappointed to see that the bracket screw was missing.

        Good Wifi card 6

        Good Pci-E wifi 6 dual band 2 and 5 Ghz card, very good performance, optimal reception thanks to the supplied antenna. The only reservation is that the manual is rather basic and you have to feel your way around to find the right settings.

        card purchased separately and already installed

        Perfect, the PC had been reviewed by the team and the WiFi card installed by them.
        This was not included in the contract but very much appreciated

        Do the job

        I bought this for a community wifi connection which is not wifi-6, but it can be used in a more...
        As described.
        One star less for the cable which is really short to optimise reception.
        The antenna can be tilted to 4 different positions, which is useful.
        The instructions are very short and the supplied disc is useless. Who nowadays still has an "eater"?!!! Fortunately, the installation went smoothly under W10. The drivers downloaded in advance allowed to install the bluetooth.
        A good point for the base which is magnetized... for who wants to install it on his box

        I've been using this card for a while now, but I'm not using it to its full potential because my box is in wifi 5 and I get disconnections, but that's normal. It's a good idea to use it as a network card. I recommend it!

        Correct compromise but can do better

        A 9 pin USB adapter for USB_f would have been welcome, the connectivity forced me to disable my USB front panel.

        Good buy

        Great LDLC shipping.
        Easy to install card + drivers provided.
        Disappointed with the length of the antenna wire, just allows it to be attached to the top of the tower, no more. I would have liked 1m of wire!
        Does the job for wifi.
        Not tested for Bluetooth installation!
        A bit expensive but good reception so overall happy.

        better reception than a wifi dongle

        I thought the problem was with the line, and no, it was more a question of the antenna not having enough power, this one does its job well, I would have preferred a longer cable for the antenna and no USB port which I didn't really understand.

        Not intended for Slim PCs!

        I have to say that I am not able to install it in my ACER ASPIRE X3995 PC as the mounting strip is not suitable for slim PC's and no short strip is supplied, so it is not possible to install it as is. I have been using it for a while now and it is not working properly.

        Implementation of the programme.

        Hello everyone, This component does not require a great deal of knowledge for its installation, which is rather interesting to equip with a better connection. The positioning of the antenna on its magnetic base is very cleverly thought out, in fact the external object will find its place easily without taking up too much space. This choice was proposed to me by an adviser attentive to my needs, thank you! So see you soon and have a good spring.

        9/10 for non-plug-and-play installation

        Perfect! I'm going from 15Mbps per second 450 is great! The only thing I can't do is to use the bluetooth. The only problem was that during the installation (which is not plug and play), I had to connect my computer to the ethernet and my laptop (I guess it's possible) to get the necessary connection to download the drivers.Otherwise, once it's done everything works perfectly, the antenna is still discreet on the desktop, and the connection to the motherboard is simple. The card does not look cheap.

        Efficient wifi6 card easy to install

        The card is as described, and can "pick up" the IEEE 802.11ax wifi standard with dbits that are close to the dbit sent by my box, despite 2 walls between my box and my pc. I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to use it for a while now, because it's a good idea to use it for a while.

        Perfect

        I was fed up with my old wifi key that doesn't really allow me to take advantage of the Paris fiber, and I also wanted to use my headset in bluetooth: well, it worked for both.After two weeks of mishaps with Chronopost (that from now on I'll flee like the plague), I received the card: plugged in in 10 minutes (PCIe1x port connected to a FUSB or JUSB port of the motherboard), worked even without installing any driver (windows 10 Home)! I am now at the same speed as ethernet (350Mbps downlink), but with wifi. I've got bluetooth, but I'm not too worried about it, Aorus is solid.

        Wifi blocked 60mbps

        I have installed the wifi card on my tower, the wifi never goes above 70mbps up and down. I have tried the computer next to my router, the result is the same...When I test the connection with two other computers (my wifi is around 350mbps)...The drivers of my wifi card are up to date...I don't understand where it comes from ? I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm sure it's a good one, and I'm sure it's a very good one.

        Perfect

        It allows me to transmit the 300 Mbps of my fibre without problems, in WiFi 5. There are no dropouts, no disconnections. The box is in the same room as the computer. At the time of installation, the card is really small, so there is little chance of it jamming anything. I did the first branch startup on ethernet (so connected to the internet) and the drivers for the card installed themselves in a few minutes, without me doing anything, both for WiFi and Bluetooth.

        Top quality/price ratio!

        I bought a wifi network card (from a reputable brand) which seemed to work with only one antenna instead of the two provided (433 mb/s in WIFI ac instead of 866mb/s). The result after installation of the Gigabytes card: 866mb/s on my local network and my fibre speed in reception 500mb/s instead of 210 mb/s! The big plus also: I now have access to the options of the wifi card (Intel chip) unlike my old card (broadcom chip)

        Almost perfect (except length of antenna cables

        Already perfect and fast delivery from LDLC

        After having taken the precaution of downloading and installing the latest drivers from the official "Gigabyte" website (as I don't know if the ones on the CD-ROMs are the latest) I installed the GC-WBAX200 card in place of another less powerful "Gygabyte", which is a piece of cake.

        Perfect compatibility under Windows 10-64 bits with my MSI MGP-2390-GAMING-PLUS card.

        For my part I took the trouble to deactivate in the "advanced settings" of the card, this in the device manager, the standby of the card, and I also put "privilege the 5 Ghz Wifi band" without knowing if it changed anything to have in priority this Wifi band much faster than the 2.4 GHz. (but as I separated the two frequencies on the box)

        Everything worked at once, the Wifi is stable and without interruptions (I'll check again in a few months, it's only been a few days since I installed this card)

        It is of course sufficient for my "small" 300 Gb/s per second, and what the Live Box 4 gives me in 5 Ghz channel, I receive without visible loss on the computer.

        I get better WIFI than with my old card, at least that's what the Live Box 4 application installed on the PC "tells me", because the "bars" of the detected signal are always complete and all green now

        I paired a Bose mobile speaker via Bluetooth to test it out, with no problems.

        The only complaint is that it would take an extra 60cm minimum of wire for those who want to put their Wifi antenna higher up or further away.

        Having a router that does mimo so performance is top notch. The web pages load faster than my previous configurations.
        I am not disappointed: I go from 30-60mb/s to 460mb/s!
        It is also up to date with the latest technologies (Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5)
        Very easy to install, its magnetic antenna makes it very practical.

        very good but

        The cable of the antenna of the device is much too short for my part impossible to put it on the desk...
        It's a good thing there's a magnet system
        I have a headset logithèque H800 which is compatible Bluetooth but when I pass in Bluetooth with the quality of the are becomes execrable
        I'm not sure if this is due to the card or the headset although when the headset is used with its dongle it works very well in terms of sound quality.

        Meets my expectations

        I highly recommend it because it has the bluetooth transmitter function to connect your smartphone or other compatible device and that's great! It also has wifi 6 and it is felt if you have a wifi chip that does not have it. Good value for money, if you hesitate I advise you to take it!

        The wifi/Bluetoots card works very well and is of good quality
        Meets all my expectations and allows me to use a bluetoots controller

        A high quality wifi card for a low price.

        This card largely meets my expectations. It is also compatible with WIFI 6 for those who have a WIFI 6 box for a small child.

        I bought it mainly to replace my wifi adapter which did not support 5 GHz and I can guarantee you that the speeds are up to scratch (600 megabits downlink with the Livebox 5). Bluetooth is also compatible and works well.

        The small default, the antenna wire is too short. Think of buying an extension for those who want to put it far enough.

        Perfect for getting throughput under Linux

        I am very happy with this wifi card which works in plug'n'play under Ubuntu 20.04. I get 80Mbps / 100Mbps speeds which is perfect for my use.

        Nothing to say

        I've never had any problems with it, either for installation or use. I have never had any problems with it, either for installation or use.

        Niquel

        Works very well with a very good speed ;) I was able to use it when I had no ethernet connection and it worked fine!

        Product failure

        The product does not work systematically at startup I am obliged to unplug it and plug it back in with the computer running so that it is recognized at the next startup, the bluetooth function works but sometimes has problems, and does not work systematically, moreover LDLC have declared that the product worked after having sent them the product I'm not sure if this is a good product or a bad one.

        Not recognised with my Pci express 1x

        A little card that replaces my PLC because of the vagaries of Windows that makes my Killer LAN E2400 network chip buggy and gives me so much throughput!
        I like the black look that makes this appendage disappear out of sight in my windowed case, plus the back is nicely painted with an Aorus Logo.
        But I had a problem with it not being recognised with my Pci express 1 x!? (A half star less "maybe my motherboard has problems?")
        But on the other hand well with my 2nd 16 x (wired in 8).
        So I thought it was going to interfere with the flow of my graphics card (2 and ½ slots) No it is compact and fits well in my configuration, and it has a magnetic orientable antenna, all cables are provided in the bundle, power via an internal USB connection required for Bluetooth!
        I recommend for those who don't want a green card.

        Regular loss of connection

        I have regular connection losses several times a day (between 2 and 5 times a day, never more than 2 minutes though), and a limited max downlink speed limited to 170 Mb/s, while the same intel chip integrated in my laptop, located in the same place, never disconnects, and has a max downlink speed of about 220 Mb/s.

        stable and efficient

        This wifi card is twice as fast and much more stable than my previous one, recognized natively by my motherboard of the same manufacturer, works all the same better after installation of the drivers present on the CD of installation that I had to extract with my laptop, I recommend this wifi card for any installation not having the possibility of connecting in RJ45, makes almost as well the work in 5GHz as my cable RJ45

        Good product

        Works well, only negative point for me, the antenna cable may be a bit too short.
