Double and triple search for user reports for the target device beforehand
I screwed the card into an HP Pavilion laptop.
At first, the laptop refused to accept it (error 702) because of an unsupported wireless card.
It turns out that many laptops from HP (and some other manufacturers) have a whitelist stored in the BIOS, which naturally does not contain cards "from the future".
With some searching, you can find BIOS hacking tools and many pre-hacked BIOS updates that can remove said whitelist and unlock heaps of hardware settings. However, this is only something for risk-conscious freaks, with something like this you can easily turn a PC into a piece of electronic waste.
Make sure you check first whether your laptop also has such a mess built in.
Also: If the laptop didn't have a 5 GHz card, the built-in antennas are most likely optimised for 2.4 GHz only. In 5 GHz operation, a reduced range is to be expected.
Bluetooth seemed a bit lousy at first, but quickly settled down. Windows probably installed a newer, improved driver.Pro
- Works as advertised
Good value for money
Works perfectly on an old HP Pavilon 6544 desktop as a replacement for the original onboard card which is not very efficient. Windows 10 recognizes it without any problem.
Would buy it again
Great printer, always had a Canon printer.
Pro
- I think it's great that it has individual colour cartridges.
- When scanning, you do not have to place each sheet individually, but it has a multi-sheet feeder.
Contra
- Only one sheet tray left at the bottom of the machine.
Newer Bluetooth with an older mSATA port
This enabled us to use a Fairphone Fairbuds XL Bluetooth headset on an old why! laptop from 2012, which was not possible with a single-band Intel Wireless N135 chipset.
Fast and powerful WLAN for every form factor
Pro
- Small size for installation
- Driver well available
- Connection stable
- high data throughput
Excellent
Card installed in an Acer 7741Z, recognized directly, a good update of the laptop.
Pro
- between 650 mb and 866 mb
Contra
- Nothing
