Best Pci Wireless Adapter Card For Desktop Computers

Installed a USB 3 PCI card in an older workstation. This extension gets a port up to my desktop. Saves a lot of bending over, quite convenient.

Excellent piece of equipment to use as an adapter or a full blown sound card for computers.

For those computers that only have spare PCI x1 slots. Works great, increases the network bandwidth. Recommend if possible getting a computer with at least a spare PCI x4 slot and the 10 Gbe version of this card !!!

Buying this adapter served 2 purposes 1) to make desktop wireless and 2) open the unit and clean out all the accumulated dust. Does what is should

Purchased this adapter for my second desktop pc that did not come with a Wi-Fi card. the software was easy to install; once the dongle was inserted in the USB port it was smooth sailing after that. The signal strength is comparable to my factory installed Wi-Fi card in my other pc. The price is great and yes I would recommend this product, get one before they raise the price.

This works well with my desktop that didn't have any internal pci ports and I wanted to give my desktop a gigabit connection. Just remember to update to most current driver from the there website. Windows will use it's own driver but I found out the Microsoft driver is buggy and will drop the network connection very often. Once I updated to the most current manufacture driver my problems went away.

Best desktop computer I had yet

If it's free it's for me!. The adapter came as free bonus with my SD card purchase. Best of all, it works great

Smaller than my wireless mouse for my desktop, but just as easy to use.

I ordered this Allegro USB 3.1-C type card because my PC was damaged during a no-warning fire safety power shut-off back in October here in California which caused a surge straight through my APC backup/surge protector. This resulted in a damaged front audio and USB port unit through the main switch to my computer case which connects directly to the motherboard. Therefore all the USB ports on the front of the case and on the back I/O of the motherboard became non-functional. This card, attached to the motherboard, bypasses the USB-C port on the back so that I can temporarily use it for USB-C connections until a new USB/audio/switch unit arrives from Germany for my Be Quiet! 800 case. Fortunately, it is still under warranty, and Be Quiet! offered to replace the unit free of charge. However, the Allegro card only works in PCI-E 3.0 or higher slots. It will NOT fit in PCI-E 16 express (the interface is too wide). I tried it in a PCI-E 2.0 slot and it will not function in it at all. Be sure that you have the right configuration or it will not work. It has two USB-C ports. Therefore, with the right cables, I am also able to route it to a four-port hub for other USB input needs such as thumb drives. This adapter is similar in writing speed to the original USB-C port on the I/O from the motherboard. This, with a four port USB 3.0 card connected to the PCI-E express gives me enough latitude to plug in all of my peripherals until final repairs are made. When that happens I will use it in another older PC build which does not have USB-C capability. I have tried it in that PC and it works very well and fast.
