Rosewill Wireless N300 PCI-E WiFi Adapter, 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) PCI Express Network Card for PC

Easy to install, went right in with no problem. But when I started it I ran into lots of problems. It would not link to my home's wifi system no matter how much I tried. And yes, I know all about how to do it. I'm not a beginner at PCs - I've been using them since 1984.So I didn't know what the problems was, and I didn't want to fool with it - so I just left it in there. I had a USB wireless dongle that I was then using to connect to my home's wifi, so I had to be happy with that - though every few months, I would still try.Finally my dongle USB wireless went bad. It just died (right after the one year warranty date passed). And since this wasn't linking in, I went out to buy a new adapter. I ended up buying an expensive one - an $80 NETGEAR one that had all the bells and whistles - and again, this was a USB Adaptor for wireless. Well I connected that one, set it all up. and that one gave me problems now and then - it wouldn't keep its connections no matter what I would do.Now all this time, this Rosewell Adaptor would also appear in my wifi settings (even though I had disabled it). So one day I turned it on once again. The next time my PC booted, Instead of going to the new Netgear device, I was able to connect through the Rosewill adaptor. Got a really good connection too.I thought it was a fluke, but it kept happening. So I disconnected the new Netgear one and left the Rosewill one on. And guess what - it now worked perfectly!So I don't know why I had problems in the beginning. My System's settings were correct, it was connected properly, but it still would not work. Now it does. I'm happy.But next week I have to take out that card - I have a PCI-e USB 3.0 adaptor card I need to install - and unfortunately, I may have to unlink this adaptor. If that happens, I'll have to go back to the other adaptor and let you all know that happens.

I was really nervous about this card. The reviews are cause for concern. I installed it with some trepidation and tried to use the TP-Link Archer drivers from TP-Link's website, but they wouldn't install. They didnt detect a compatible card installed. I didnt have an optical drive handy to install the disk that came with the card, and was afraid to do so anyway based on the instability other users reported. So, I left it with the windows drivers, which I tried to update through device manager, but Windows already had the latest version it was aware of.First time I put the computer to sleep and resumed, the wifi connection was lost. I thought: here we go. But I then put the computer to sleep and resumed several times with no issues. And using speedtest, my wifi speeds were almost doubled from my previous speeds using the reasonably new wifi built into my MSI motherboard. The image I attached is from a speedtest through this card connected to my Linksys WRT1900ACS, which was pretty close to the computer. After a few days of running with the Windows drivers, I can say it seems to be pretty solid. I didnt quite see the speeds I hoped for, but I did see a big improvement over the previous wifi. Could I potentially increase my speed with better drivers? Sure. Probably. But based on the other reviews, it seems equally likely I might cause a major issue with my system, so will settle for good enough.

First, I would give this little adapter a *** except no one would notice my comments. When it works, it is really fast and stable. The problems noted below make it, overall, an unwise buy for me.1) The instructions are written around XP and my OS is 64-bit Win7. There are only two references to Win7 in the manual: 1) that Win7 is supported and, "5.2 Connecting with Window 7You can easily access to wireless with Win7. First, move your mouse to lower right hand corner as below and click on the icon where arrow pointing to". This actually refers to the post-install wireless connection, grammer and all.2) Once the card was inserted and the first-time configuration took place, I could not successfully remove the driver and reinstall. I finally got the non-CD version from the Rosewill site and it worked OK, installing Realtek generic drivers. This appears to be an installer bug.3) The Rosewill website, which may be located in China, has no security that I can find: logging in or creating a new account is done from an unsecured http (not https) url. Risky.4) The card appeared to destabilize the network: When installed and communicating with the Rosewill WIFI router (very good device) it would crash about once per day - requiring a reboot of the router. With the Rosewell adapter card disabled and other devices (laptop, wifi-radio, printer) active the system remained totally steady.So, it is on to Asus: which has better grammar, has a good history with me, and has its own driver.

The included antennas are large and adjustable, and it's super easy to stick in your X1 slot. It uses a generic driver, and seems to work fine most of the time. Occasionally it will need to restart, but will work fine afterwards. I don't seem to be able to change the MAC address, but it's still worth the money for an entry level wifi card. It came with a mini CD, which I don't have a way to use, but I haven't needed it as the generic drivers work just fine. I have a Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra case, so I was happy to buy from a brand I knew to make good products. I won't say I am disappointed, especially for the price of $10, but I do wish I could customize things like the MAC address. Connection is strong and, for the most part, reliable.

My son has been using this for quite awhile now and I haven't had any issues at all. It connects well and does its job. Purchased the larger AC1900 for my other son recently and it installed easy as well. No issues. Rosewill seems a fairly solid brand in my experience. Pretty sure it is Newegg's house brand, which is where I purchased the second one due to lower sale pricing at the time.Connectivity itself will depend on your situation and all cases will be different. In mine the lesser AC600 pulls a slightly better connection closer to the router with one less wall than the better and more expensive AC1900 does further away, all on a 5G network. Neither is perfect connection speeds but good none the less (online gaming) and work as expected and thankfully easy to deal with. In the case of the AC1900 turning the router sideways boosted the speed even - your case will be different obviously. The Wifi adapters should be fairly simple as in they work (as intended) or not. Worth mentioning if you read this far that these are both Win7 systems. Little doubt that they would work fine on Win10 but have yet to try it.For the price these are great alternatives to the more expensive name brand ones they are built after.

Fue fácil instalarlo, sin ningún contratiempo. Lo único que si me gustaría ver sería una versión con Bluetooth, porque en esta versión no la tiene.

The physical installation was easy but to get the latest version of the software and make it work on a Windows 10 64bit system was a little more difficult. The WIFI signal kept dropping out. I finally got it configured correctly and since it works non stop!

La coloque e instale sus drivers muy fácilmente y funciona perfectole quite una estrella por que la recepción es un poco mas débil de lo que esperaba por lo demás es muy recomendable.

I bought this card a year ago and the card have stopped working last week. Since the PC is pretty much never open, I was expecting this to last a few years... I guess reliability is no longer a priority for electronic manufacturers.Regarding our first experience with the product, it was still fairly easy to install if you know how to navigate a motherboard. The wi-fi signal was decent and met our needs.
