I really can't say, since this card didn't work any better than the one I had with only one antenna, so I sent it back for a refund. BTW; I use a D-link DWA-125/RE USB stick that I have on the end of a USB extender cable. I have a tower computer under my desk and the stick lies on top of the desk to get a clear shot to the router. I consistently get full bars from my router, which is about 40ft from my office computer.Hope that helps.

This is blazing on Windows 7 @ 5Ghz, consistant full bars, 450Mbps at all times, no hickups when surfing the internet and streams HD perfectly.

It performs horribly on windows 8.1 over 5ghz but other than that it's excellent.

This should be good for gaming. With good signal strength and once it connects it stays connect (at 2.4 gHz). The 5gHz connection is terrible for this card.

Yes, I have been gaming with this network card for several months - great speeds and reception.

This is NOT a good product for any use. They are going take it out of the market. I am not gamer, so I can not advice you. Good luck!

This is a little late but it may help anyone looking in the future: Wireless isn't the most stable consistent connection. Its great for generic internet but gaming is very demanding. You have the potential to run into hiccups with your connection. I quickly switched from a wireless adapter to this netgear powerline kit. Now the boxes will use the electrical wiring to transmit the signal so if the wiring isn't from one outlet to the other it won't work but it is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection (which is the best option if possible.)

I'm sorry I can't help you here because I don't do gaming. It seems to stream videos just fine and is faster than my old one. Probably not much help, huh?

Yessir it will! I've had a bit of ping issues with it though when playing games such as League of Legends, but for the most part it's smooth sailing. I'm not sure if the ping is caused by an overabundance on my network, or just the luck of the draw. But yes, it will work.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

I use it to play Call of Duty on Xbox and it works great. You might want to look for a little lower latency, though. There's an Acer 23" IPS 5ms for less $ than this one. Looks just like it though. Also, my audio out port stopped working. I had been plugging a headset into it every time I played. It didn't hold up.

we don't use it for gaming. my husband basically uses it for surfing the internet. we have been very happy with it so far.

We have had the same problem. I was told that it requires a lot of pull from the internet so if you have a weak signal strength at all then you will have a hard time playing it.

No. I didn't get any game with it. I thought it might have come with Borderlands 2, but it did not.

Yes, I just tested it by connecting the receiver base to a wall charger and connecting it to my computer with a 3.5m cord instead of via USB. There is a switch on the front of the base that says console&lt;-----&gt;PC Gaming, make sure its switched to Console before powering it on otherwise it won't use the correct input you want.

No invest in a different one I have 2 Xbox consoles connected to one and it only plays one of them even if j unplug it it will not play the other signal you get what you play for so invest in a different splitter, also you will need to buy an extra cable for if you do decide to go with this connector

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

I don't blame you for wanting to return it. Maybe return it and wait a few months, see if it improves.There are supposed to be "fixes" for WiFi, MySB, alarms, etc... in the just released SBS 7.4.2, but who knows.For audio quality I'd take the Boom any day! :)As for my Radio, it *never* loses connection to my WiFi (RED indicator), but I do get the occasional BLUE indicator (loses connection to MySB).My main issue is the "looks like it's playing but it is not" problem. Even then it is not as often as others have reported, for me anyway.I'm also running 7.5 beta and 7.4.2 beta so that may be why I don't have as many issues with the Radio as others, hard to say.

Mine is. I'm using it between my desktop and Onkyo receiver connected to the plasma for playing Call of Duty with no problems. It also sends the sound for in game surround. What didn't know was that it also seems intent connection through it.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.
