Super efficient

I added it to my fixed computer after moving house as a temporary solution. Well guess what, the temporary solution is still in place after 2 years ... In fact the range and stability is incredible. I'm about 15 metres from my box with 3 load-bearing walls between me and the box in Wifi 6. So if you're in a similar situation, you can go ahead with your eyes closed. I play FPS games and I'm not worried about stability! I can definitely recommend this product!

        Great little card

        Connected to a WIFI box SFR initially then FREEBOX Today, only happiness (wifi 6E).
        Just one small complaint: the aerial cable is a bit short, but I'm quibbling.
        Speeds are top-notch, and the card is plug & play: automatically detected under Windows 10 and Windows 11.
        Just remember to connect the USB connector (supplied) to the motherboard (or to an external port) to take advantage of Bluetooth (Bluetooth 5.2).

        Data rate: approx. 470 Mb/s.

        Top-notch WiFi card

        Easy to install, performs as expected in WiFi and also provides a high-quality Bluetooth interface.
        Unportable magnetic antenna, which I find practical.
        INTEL chipset, which guarantees that the drivers are kept up to date.

        Top notch wifi card for linux

        Wifi cards with an intel chipset >>>>>> wifi cards with a broadcomm chipset for linux systems.

        Good WiFi6E and BT card

        I am very pleased with this card which combines the latest versions of 6E wifi and Bluetooth 5.2. If you lack usb-2 ports on your motherboard, you can order the following internal USB hub:

        I recommend this card and the LDLC website.

        Very good network map

        I've been using it for several months now, and I'm happy with it. I'm using a wifi 6 only, but I haven't tried a wifi 6e yet, but the 1.1GB download speed is easily achievable, and I haven't tried Bluetooth, but I think it works very well too, given the results I've had before.

        I have not tried Bluetooth but I think it works very well too, considering the results obtained before. Honestly it is a very good card, relatively discreet with its adjustable antenna and magnet design, if you have the need and the technical means to install it, go for it. Attention all the same has a rather important point, to have of the connection the drivers is installed not in USB but by a CD containing the drivers (Dispo also on the site of AORUS, but it is necessary of the wifi) thus attention to have an available access either cabled or in usb wifi or other means, except if you have a reader CD/DVD then it is simpler.

        In any case I would recommend it for any purpose but mainly for gaming or the performance being very nice.

        Works perfectly under GNU/Linux.

        Works perfectly under GNU/Linux (minimum kernel 5.10)
        I had a USB 3 WIFI 5 Netgear A7000 with 4 antennas with a speed of 200 Mb/s, with the Gigabyte GC-WBAX210, I have a speed of 470 Mb/s.
        It works perfectly under GNU/Linux with my Manjaro Linux.
        Nothing to install, it's the iwlwifi driver present in Linux since version 5.10 and the firmware (/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode) is also pre-installed so we switch off the computer, we put the card. You turn the computer back on, and you connect to your box or router normally as if you had not changed anything.

        I recommend this network card

        I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to download 128 mbps (black ops cold war), I'm doing a speed test on fast.com, I'm from Reunion Island, the test is around 440 mbps with a download on the side (on a server in Paris). I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it again and again. I have no problem, the usb is necessary apparently for Bluetooth. I have no problem with this, the usb is needed for bluetooth, but I find it a pity that it's an extra cable for the management cable. Otherwise I recommend it. The antenna holder is magnetic, you can put it in 90 degree with intermediate notches

        Well

        Easy to install. Works well.
        The only problem is the internal connection for Bluetooth as the ports are busy.
        I will install an adapter found on the net.

        Comprehensive and efficient

        Bluetooth and WiFi to the latest standards, works perfectly. Bought it on LDLC's advice to be able to cast my computer via Miracast, which requires a recent WiFi adapter standard. Note however that this casting is limited to 1080p HD resolution, which doesn't necessarily look good on an 8k projector... (but this is related to Microsoft, not the adapter).

        future proof

        perfect if you have the transmitter that goes with it.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a transmitter or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a transmitter.
        The bluetooth 5.0 is perfect too. I can use my headset, keyboard and mouse. microsoft just needs to set up a system for aptx or ldac. no support for seven. much better than w10. goodbye to my 24 bits creative sound card. there is an internal connection to do on usb 2.0 or 3.0 (cable provided. antenna is magnetic and removable slightly to adjust vertically. or an external connection but the cable is not provided in this case

        Top stability!

        As I could not install an RJ45 cable between my fibre box and my tower, I opted for the option of a WIFI6 card.

        Fully compatible with the new SFR 8 internet box, I have very good speeds (about 600mbits/sec download, 450mbits/sec upload) and a nice ping (4ms) on Windows 10 20H2.

        However I think the wifi card is limited by either the PCIe slot or my CPU (Ryzen 1800X). Indeed, if I perform the same speed tests on my Macbook Pro M1 (also WIFI6) in the same place in the room, I get 900-950mbits/sec in download.

        As said in the other comments, very easy installation, very stable bluetooth 5, very well finished card and magnetic antenna that sticks well on the box!

        The driver has to be installed from the Gigabyte website because it is not recognized by Windows Update.

        Unbelievable!

        I wanted a wifi / bleutooth card for my PC because I was fed up with USB cables for my controller and RJ45 cable ( ethernet ).
        The card does what it has to do :)
        -The speeds are excellent, no difference between cable and WIFI for me....
        -The WIFI 6 is very cool, you can really feel the difference between WIFI 5 and WIFI 6!
        -The bleutooth 5 works very well, I connected Xbox controller, keyboard, mouse and no disconnection, the range of the signal is very correct.
        -The installation is easy, just plug in a PCIe screw and plug the USB cable on the motherboard, screw the antenna ambouts and it's done! So before you buy, make sure you have a USB available on your motherboard!
        -The card itself is very nice, even if it's hidden by my graphics card, I know it can be important for some people. The antenna is also very nice, it is emulated which is a plus to keep it from falling off.

        Not yet supported by the Linux kernel

        This card is not yet supported by recent Linux kernels (currently 5.8). For this, you will have to be patient.
