I have five devices in the same room. All except the TP-Link connect and have reasonable performance (20+Mbps on 2.4GHz and 100+Mbps on 5GHz) to my router a couple rooms away, but the TP-Link often disconnects and has so many lost packets that the speed (when it even connects) drops to 1-3Mbps. It's very frustrating that my mobile phone has better reception/performance than this large wifi card with two external antenna. I wouldn't recommend buying this card.

On a separate note, I received TL-WN881ND hardware version 1.0 which hasn't had a driver update from the manufacturer since 2013 and doesn't have an official driver for Windows 10.

Don’t buy, my 2012 MacBook Pro and every other wireless device I have, (Samsung galaxies, iPhones) out perform this card that I installed in my brand new ryzen 5 build. Internet works good for a bit but then throttles right down to speeds that I would have expected 10 years ago. Was trying to search something on trademe and it was taking forever to load so I went on the trade me app on my iPhone 8 Plus and found what I was looking for before my new pc even loaded the next web page.

Good fairly reliable. Good range and high speeds. Drops out occasionally but that's only once a day at most picks up again after 1-2 min. No problems installing drivers a little difficult if you have no internet and dont have a cd rom drive. But otherwise it's great and worth the money. Good fairly reliable. Good range and high speeds.

I purchased it for my spare computer to enable it to connect to my wifi network printer. Worked a treat. I purchased it for my spare computer to enable it to connect to my wifi network printer. Worked a treat.

For me was plug and play, no issues with downloads on Win10 For me was plug and play, no issues with downloads on Win10

Easy to install and set-up and I get a good signal from the router across the house. Just keep in mind this is only one band (2.4 GHz) not dual band (with 5 GHz) but you will pay more for a dual bander.

Higher network speed for less price
A bit tricky to install
No space available to keep the both graphic card and wifi module Higher network speed for less price

Maintains signal beyond what my laptop can (not by far). Maintains signal beyond what my laptop can (not by far).

Good basic card easy to install and set up works really well with the basic system it was installed on Good basic card easy to install and set up works really well with the basic system it was installed on

I had to change my SSID in order to connect but the ver next time I used my pc, I couldn’t find it again. Rather than setting up all my other wifi devices for the third time I decided to go with the NETGEAR nighthawk I had to change my SSID in order to connect but the ver next time I used my pc, I couldn’t find it again.

Rather than setting up all my other wifi devices for the third time I decided to go with the NETGEAR nighthawk A7000 which is faultless. Was not impressed by this product. This is a common problem as well, just google it as I should of. I had to change my SSID in order to connect but the ver next time I used my pc, I couldn’t find it again.

Installs easily and then connects easy when drivers installed Installs easily and then connects easy when drivers installed
