Intel people makes quality products (except Atom). I am able to connect at 866.7Mbps with my Linksys EA6700 router.

The biggest problem is the BlueTooth setup.
The setup disk does not include a BT driver and software.
The card also needs to plug a 4-pin jumper into an open USB 9-pin connector on the Motherboard to enable BT. If you follow the instructions, you will get an unrecognized USB device. Here're the changes I made to enable BT:

1. flip the connector 180 degrees (they labeled the + and - terminals wrong).
2. plug into the other side of the USB connector. The diagram tells you to plug into the one side (4-pin), but I need to plug into the opposite side (5-pin).

Also the sw disc WIDI download link is broken, I suppose that would have given you some WIDI driver. I didn't investigate further because I'm not interested.

The included wireless device driver and sw is out of date; and may not work with Windows 8.1; so please go to Intel support page to download the latest driver for your OS.

This is the first wireless AC card I've seen for desktops that isn't ~$100.

Works great! Antenna has a much higher gain than the one I was using (according to inSSIDer). The cable is only 4 feet long, but it gets it out from under my desk. Speedtest blows away my old N card.

Only issue I had was that the pin orientation on the bluetooth cable is labeled backwards. I flipped it over and bluetooth worked.

Pros:

- It's relatively stable once connected. Ping times always <1ms to router, ~15ms to ISP.

- Drivers for it are non-intrusive. Intel-exclusive settings are disabled by default, one can enable them in connection details.

- Detachable antenna is really nice. This card gets better reception with it than my old wireless card with two antenna sticks did. However, I have observed that the best reception is obtained when the antenna is oriented upright and placed far away from other electronic devices.

Cons:

- Bluetooth would not work at all, took me some Internet research to find out why.

- Annoying tendency to roam from 5GHz to 2.4 GHz band with software defaults (fixed by messing with card settings: Roam aggressiveness to lowest setting, band preference to 5.2GHz)

- Detachable antenna cable is really stiff and does not twist easily. It bends just fine, however.

Other thoughts:

- If you're having problems with the bluetooth not working due to a code 43 device error, try this: Invert the USB header's orientation. Yep. Intel screwed up the polarity, so D- is actually D+. Didn't cause any physical damage to my mobo, so I consider myself lucky. If it weren't for this detail the card would've gotten 5 stars.

- The antenna comes with a little holding hook that's meant to be nailed to something (i.e. a wall). I decided to forgo nailing holes into things and fashioned an antenna stand out of Lego instead. Works like a charm, and looks pretty cool.

Overall, I would recommend this card. Mine did come with some initial issues, but the important part is that they were all fixed. 9/10 would buy again.

Definitely not the fastest AC card out there, but it has great range. I had an Asus USB AC dongle, which was definitely quick, but had issues staying connected. With this card, I have no problem getting connected quickly, and staying that way.

Speeds are great - I'm connected at 351mbps. Not as good as I'm sure they could be, but I'm pretty far from my router, and all of the N equipment I used to have had an issue getting connected at all. I'm definitely happy with the card!

The antenna was much larger than I thought (1.5in square), but other than that it's great. Intel provides good drivers that work very smoothly compared to the Rosewill adapter it replaced.

Make sure to go to Intel's website and get the latest drivers for the device. I recommend installing the Bluetooth drivers they offer as well. Also note that the cable for connecting the card to the motherboard has it's labeling flipped so make sure you try it both ways to test the Bluetooth.

This gizmo puts mo in the gizmo. It is easy to install, the antenna leads make for grabbing alot more signal. The bluetooth gives me the ability to attach fun things like my portable keyboard, and my HTC cell phone (which is now a remote due to my motherboard which has R 2.0 built in.) Win 8.1 seams to connect well too. It has been operating for over 60 day now without incident.

I am still really confused about 800.11AC, was supposed to be faster than Gig Ether but I have never heard of anything faster in 800Mbs. Anyway, it is faster than N so I am happy about that usually getting around 500-650Mbs out of mine but I am on the second floor and across the house from the router so the range is pretty good as well, since I am getting 4-5 bars all day long. It does occasionally drop but it seems to coincide with me turning on my laptop. it shouldn't bother it because it should be on the 2.4Ghz band and this card is on 5.2Ghz but I have seen stranger things in the wireless world. All in all with built in Bluetooth, you can't really ask for much more.
