Review Date: 12/27/13
Cons: - INCREDIBLY loud- Antennas are large, antenna stand is cumbersome

Pros: - Fast connection- Reliable connection- Easy setup- Intuitive and straight-forward software- Antenna stand option improves connection slightly when used
Comment:
Overall, this antenna accomplishes what it says it does in terms of performance and reliability. I have to say, though, that I am a little disappointed with it because of the noise. This adapter is bar-none the loudest component in my entire desktop--it's substantially louder than my fans and GPU. You can tell when internet packets are being sent/received because this thing makes a prolonged stalling sound. The noise occurs without prejudice, whether I'm engaged in intensive gaming or simply loading a webpage. I am uncertain if it is characteristic of only my individual model, or whether all models of the adapter are this loud.

The PCE-AC68 uses Broadcom's new 5th generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac chipset to reach speeds of up to 1.3Gbit/s through the 5GHz band, which is three times faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi.

At the same time, it maintains full backward compatibility with all previous Wi-Fi protocols, providing high performance two-way transmission while ensuring a smooth transition to 802.11ac and seamless interconnection with existing devices.

Broadcom TurboQAM hardware integrated on the PCE-AC68 brings the speed benefits of next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

At 600Mbit/s and 1.3Gbit/s respectively, they turn the PCE-AC68 into a formidable AC1900 wireless adapter, providing speeds that cannot be bettered by generic wireless adapters.

Connect the PCE-AC68 to ASUS networks to attain the very highest possible Wi-Fi speeds.
