Completely adequate for what we needed and a very easy install.
Moved the room around and found the Ethernet cables weren't long enough. It would have been cheaper to buy a longer cable, but we have an excellent router so I got the 300 mbps card.This is great. It is a breeze to fit, as long as you aren't afraid to take off the back of your computer. Took me about three minutes. Nearly every type of motherboard can accommodate this little card, as long as the smallest PCI Express slot ( 1 x ) is not obstructed by graphics cards or sound cards.It fires up and Windows loads the drivers without any further input. You will be prompted to enter your router password, or you can press the connect button on the router itself.It fits one of the kids computers and works just fine

Don't pay attention to bad reviews!
I took a punt on this card despite some reviews being heavily slaying the device, knowing it was a Killer chip and Fenvi had a growing reputation of good prices and quality.Many people were moaning either about connection speeds or signal quality/dropouts and even the quality of the card.Have been using the card for an entire evening's gaming session and I couldn't be happier. It seems most people buying this card are quite clueless or have very little understanding about how networks actually work.The device came extremely well packaged, is of really good quality and even has a decent size heatsink for prolonged sessions. Windows (win10 build 1903) installed drivers for both the Bluetooth chip and Wi-Fi. It did however as usual with windows grab an older version, this was easily fixed by visiting Killer networks website and grabbing the newer drivers.Straight away I was getting the full 867 (866.7) Mbps to my router. Which paired with my new 500/500 fibre is a godsend. Signal strength is great my router is an entire floor and room away, about 2/3 walls between me and it.LITERALLY the only downside to this card is the unsightly antennae. It's easy to hide however and can be orientated in 3 different ways, which makes it even easier to hide away.Could not be happier. Price was amazing and the card itself is amazing. Ignore poor reviews on this card if you have any clue about how networking ACTUALLY works, you'll be fine. If you don't do your research and ensure you know what you are buying and why you are buying it to ensure you are getting the most out of both this and your home network.Would definitely buy again and recommend Fenvi products to others from here on wards.

fixed my slow Virgin speeds
4 stars for me just because in 2.4ghz mode the wifi signal is weaker (and lower quality) than the ASUS 150mbps card it was replacing despite this card having the 2 antennas instead of one.This card however has allowed me to use the 5Ghz channel on my Virgin superhub so my download speeds have now increased from 5mbps-20mbps which I was previously getting. I am now able to get between 50mbps and 75mbps , still nowhere near the 100mbps I am supposed to get but I will take the 50 over 5 anyday of the week !I attached photos of the ASUS v Fenvifor those looking for updated drivers, this card uses the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 chipset, you can find the latest drivers here:[...]

Good product, worked well
Good product, working perfectly on Linux. Nice and fast, easy install, no problems. Mine came with 2 rabbit ear antennaes not the pictured square one (I'm pleased to say)

Does not advertise properly all the information you might need to know. Not worth the money.
Awful card. First of all, I live in the UK and have BT broadband. The encryption of my router was incompatible with this card meaning if I changed the encryption, I would no longer be able to use my other devices. Worse still, the only other option was to remove the encryption entirely.There was no warning that the card would only support a certain type of encryption, all it says is it is compatible with windows 10...which it is...once you get the drivers.Now I don't have an optic drive on my PC as it's very new and haven't got around to buying it yet. No problem I thought, I'll just go to the Fenvi website and download the drivers. Of course then I realised I had no wifi because the card wasn't installed. So I plugged in my ethernet cable to my onboard network card and went in search of the drivers. Well, if you have a good idea of how computers work then you'd probably be ok...(fortunately I had just enough knowledge to get me by but it took a while and some guesswork). First off, the website is a little shoddy and not well presented. Secondly, the drivers are all listed but are .RAR files which have to be downloaded and extracted. Now, I had a fresh windows install and no extraction software but fortunately windows 10 showed me the light and gave me a solution. Even then, once I'd downloaded the drivers (which windows could not automatically find online) I kept getting errors saying the file was damaged. Eventually I sorted the problem with some help from dad and I was on my way! Woohoo, time to use the internet!...uhm, no. Because of the encryption problem. So eventually I realised I was getting no where and that it was an unsolvable problem. I returned the item to amazon for a full refund.My advice would be to buy a better known brand which has decent software support. I'll never buy another Fenvi product, I suggest you don't either.

Relatively good product.
Great product that has increased my internet speeds from 21mbps to 45+mbps, not quite the 70 - 75mbps I get via my Ethernet cable, and not quite as good as I wanted, but I am a floor and a wall away from my router. The only issue is that the box is entirely in Chinese and the little CD that came with the included drivers didn't work so I had to find and extract the drivers from the Fenvi website itself. Otherwise caused me no physical set-up hassle.

Good item for the price. Does what it says. Perfect.
Very pleased. Easy to install, worked straight away (win10) without needing to run the disc. Good speed on 5GHz wifi. Cured all the issues I was getting using a usb dongle. Bluetooth works great too.
