Great wireless card

Posted by: Anish from on 08/10/2015This wireless card is amazing. I use a wired connection for my desktop and since I instilled this card I have not used my wired connection at all. If you are in the market for a wireless card for your desktop then I highly recommend the Archer T9E, it is by far one of the best cards out there. It was easy to install and setup, especially if you have a small desktop case like I do. The speeds are far better than I expected it to have and it almost duplicates my upload and download speeds of the wired connection. With all the advances with wireless routers now if you do not have an easy way to setup your desktop with a hard-wire connectiondue to proximity to the router or difficulties in hard wire routing, then look into buying this card it will save you a lot of hassle and you will be glad you bought this. I have not had any overheating issues or dropped connections, unlike some of the other wireless cards out there on the market. So if you are looking to cut the cord on your desktop then use the Archer T9E to do it.

Super Fast Wireless Card

Posted by: Mastermind278 from NJ on 08/03/2015The Archer T9E is without a doubt the next best thing to using a a wired Ethernet connection on a desktop. I have always been a big advocate of hardwired connections for desktops, but we all know that at times this is not possible due to many various issues. Today with the various wireless AC routers, the barriers that I previously had no longer seem to exist with using wireless. I got the T9E to go to a desktop we had in our second floor (I have my networking equipment in the home office in the first floor). Running a wire upstairs was going to take a lot more work than I really wanted to endeavor. Nonetheless, I felt this card could be the best option. When I first got the card, I was completely impressed that it actually came with both the long and short cover. which naturally helps as we were going to use this on an HTPC which is in a smaller case. It was simple to swap out the long cover to the short. The actual card looked sturdy and it was great that it had 3 antennas to really maximize the signal and quality of the signal. It has a nice little heat sink to help keep it cool too. It has a PCI-Ex1 plug which is good for the card plus is able to plug-in to all the other various PCI-Ex* slots. I initially installed the card on my brand new Windows 10 install. The drivers did not automatically download via Windows Update. However, I naturally pulled up the TP-Link site and was able to download the drivers to make it work, simple and easy. The product does come with a CD however, I do not have a disk drive on the HTPC I was using, so I was able to just download it and throw it on a flash drive. Once the card was up and running, I was amazed by the speeds I was able to achieve with it. I currently have Comcast's Xfinity Blast service. I am more than capable of maximizing my internet connection speeds (150/10 - I actually get more on both Ethernet and now wireless) while still maintaining great ping times. Another thing I had to verify with the card was moving files back and forth within my LAN. I have a NAS which contains most of our files including very large files. In all my tests I did, the wireless card handled the load perfectly (the limiting factor actually came down to my disk drives as it was maximizing their read/write speeds). Being that this card is being used in a HTPC, I also had to test various streaming video services. I had no buffering issues at all. All in all, I am very happy with the T9E. It works better than I would have expected for a wireless card. No matter what I threw at it, it handled everything perfectly. I have no reservations recommending this wireless card to everyone. It's without a doubt the perfect replacement for an Ethernet connection.
