Good wifi adapter
The installation of this product was easy and i found everything installed without issue. This was a great card for my small form factor pc. The low profile adapter was easy to switch to and worked perfect in my pc.
I found the card was easy to connect to my network and the connection remained solid. For the price I think this should be a combo wireless and bluetooth card but I can't have everything I want in one.
For a good reliable card I think this is a good solid product and nice that you can use it in a full size or small form factor pc.

Great compatibility!
I installed this into my NAS running Windows 10 and it found the drivers right away. I can’t run new cables where I’m currently living so wireless was the only option and I didn’t need Ethernet speeds. This card works great and I’m able to stream video content from the NAS no problem. It’s obviously not as fast as the newer AC cards out there but this served me well since my router isn’t capable of the newer AC speeds anyway. One big plus was the low-profile bracket included otherwise it wouldn’t have fit in my case.

Good product but...
I installed the drivers from disk and suffered poor performance. Once I remove the included software the adapter worked fine. This also affected USB150WN1X1 adapter.
Not a problem for me but someone else might give up sooner.

Ehhhh
Worked just fine on Windows 7......not so much on Windows 10. It comes with a drivers CD and if you load it.....the computer, in this case an HP 600, does not see the card. Installing the driver with or without the card being installed doesn't work either. Downloading the driver from this website doesn't work. Truth of the matter, the older 300 mbps cards load right up in Windows 10.

Inconsistent connectivity to 5GHz wireless
I have two SSIDs on my network, one that is available at 2.4GHz and 5.0Ghz and one that is 5GHz only. The one that is at both frequencies shows up consistently but the SSID that's only at 5GHz will disappear sporadically. I have the most recent drivers installed (from 2014) and they don't seem to help.

great
I put 6 of these in on older laptops and they work great. They cover the entire 5ghz bandwidth. They connect great to Meraki and Ubiquity access points.

Did not work on server 2012 R2
Included driver just crashed the server. Downloaded updated driver did not crash but still cannot enable wifi. Maybe Windows Update could fix it, but for that the server needs to be on the internet, which is why I got the stick to start with :-(
