The enclosed CD made installation quite simple. However, I wish there was information on how to disable the internal internet card. I had to do some research on how to disable it. Lastly, because of the age of my laptop, I was only able to con nect to 2.4ghz. With ASUS, I was able to access the faster 5ghz connection. 5

Inexpensive answer to my connectivity issues. Easy to install and performs well. Much better and more attractive than my old external antenna. Would buy again but I'm betting I won't have to. 5
