Selected User Reviews For MSI Dual Band AC WiFi Bluetooth 4.2 Long Range Wireless PCIe Network Adapter Card (AC905C)

Adapter for Wireless Networks that is Good Even though it does not include a separate USB connector and has driver problems, this is a very good WiFi adapter
5/5

You have finally succeeded in getting it to work. My computer had just been built with Windows 10 installed and I was able to install this on it. The system I purchased the adapter for did not come with a USB interface - that was something I didn't realize when I purchased the adapter. PCI Express card) It comes with the cable needed to do this, however it may require you to unplug another USB device on your motherboard in order to use it. This was the case There was also another problem I had when I received the driver disc sent with the card. It was not readable. ** The internal USB connection on the motherboard is usually used to connect the USB port on the front of your PC Case to the motherboard. There seems to be a problem reading the disc on both of my PCs. The issue isn't as big as it seems as you can generally find better, more current information On the manufacturers website, I found that there is a product called "MSI AX905C" which is not available on their site. So I decided to go with a product called MSI Herald-AX Intel AX200NGW Wifi 6 instead. The solution did indeed work. Therefore, if you would like to get support for it/drivers, be aware that MSI calls it the MSI Herald-AX Intel AX200NGW Wifi 6. I installed and it worked smoothly once all those little hiccups were worked out. It has low latency and is relatively fast on 5ghz. Once I have used it more I may be able to report more.

I am at a loss for words
3/5

Though it's listed as a new release on Amazon, it has an old Intel/Intel wireless chipset chip from 2015. The chip has a 1x1 transmission rate rather than a good 2x2 one found on some.

A total waste of money! Do not I'm surprised it's an MSI product and I'd say it's either defective or a fraud, but from what I've seen on this site I believe it's received this item, it did not "fit" my Pavilion Slimline case properly, so I bent the metal top in order to make it fit
3/5

I know it is JUST a piece of metal, but I just wanted it to fit and connect. I immediately installed the drivers as soon as I booted to the desktop. Neither MSI nor the item were supported (only a dead link for the download in a foreign language). In my research, I found out that you download them from the HP website. I made sure to get both the I have the device and WiFi works fine, but Bluetooth (my primary reason for getting this) does not work at all. Windows 10 is installed on my computer. have tried Windows Update, Driver Booster, and customer service, but none of them have any effect. So I just went out and bought myself a Bluetooth USB dongle and it has Until this junk board fails, I will just use it until it fails and then plug in my WiFi USB As a result of this experience, I'll just stay away from most products related to MSI.

Install the latest BIOS if your computer has a wireless connection The FI system fails, while the Bluetooth system As far as my router bandwidth is concerned, the speeds are maxed out
3/5

In the future, when I have gigabit connection and wireless, I will When I get my hands on a Fi 6 router, I'll be able to test it out. I have been able to use a mouse, keyboard, headset, and phone at the same time with excellent signal strength with this Bluetooth. There is a magnetic base so the wall mount can be mounted on the side or the extended antennas are particularly attractive, and I am very pleased with the design. Considering its good price, it comes in at about the same as $20 for the Intel chip and $20 for the E key M. With the 2 slot to PCIE X1 card, you'll receive drivers and the antenna kit. Only problem I encountered was with support. When you tell them you have tried MSI, Realtek, and Intel drivers, they give up and say the problem might be with more than one company. According to the Microsoft representative, he had heard about the Intel chip from another customer. Because the Bluetooth interface worked, and I was having trouble with the Realtek Family Controller preventing the AX200 from establishing a wireless connection, I knew this was a mistake. You should be able to get the Bluetooth connected, but not the WiFi See if you can find the yellow caution symbol on the Realtek Family Controller in the Windows Device Manager. You should update your BIOS first if your system has problems with drivers, as I did because I thought it was just a driver issue. The support I received would have received a 5 star rating if it had gone beyond foreigners reading you manuals in broken English or trying to come up with generic troubleshooting suggestions. There must be a better way for MSI to approach that issue, because it would be more expensive to keep replacing products with customers than if they would hire people who had an interest to correct the problem. In light of this, I definitely recommend against MSI products to people who do not have a basic understanding of all the parts of their PC and their operating system.

I am very happy with the Wi-Fi connection
3/5

I haven't been as impressed with Bluetooth. I had no trouble with this card's WiFi connectivity, but it was a different story with Bluetooth. I was able to access the website for the first 40 minutes after booting, but after that, Windows would disable itself. No matter how many USB cables I tried and how many ports on the motherboard I tried, it didn't work. I also downloaded the Intel drivers, as they were linked in the Amazon review by MSI (FYI, drivers are not on MSI's website) and I am still experiencing problems. going to go back and see what else I can do.
