How good is the wireless card on this?

I have a masters in computer technology. I refuse to build laptops however this is the first one I have owned(over 100th I've used) The wireless internet card is excellent in the fact that I travel and have been to 42 locations outside my state alone this year. It accesses any Wi-Fi and can handle ranges 1MBPS-T1 speeds. Had this almost a year and has not failed me. I am a huge advocate for IBM and is why I purchased this laptop. I hope this was helpful.

it has wireless card inside the PC tower, but not reliable. When I used it, the PC lost wireless connection every hours and I had to remove and connect it again. My laptop on the same room didn't have such problem.it is most possible to be the hardware issue

Yes the card doesn't drop off the wireless connection. I bought this model last March and so far not a single problem with it

I bought 2 of these computers one I have hard wired and the other works off the wireless card. It works perfectly no issues and it's already installed so you connect when you're doing the set up!

this depends on your wireless card. this acts as just an antenna. it basically is no different than a "rubber ducky" antenna (not counting the range and different look obviously) i recommend the AlfaAwus036h this wireless card is usb attachable and comes with a 5 dbi rubber ducky antenna and it actually has a 5 or 6 foot cord so its very maneuverable. (rubber ducky antennas work better if your in the city) this network card also supports B/G. The Antenna doesnt actually support any network type, thats up to your Wireless card or NIC.Hope i could answer your question!

Yes. 32 and 64 are good stuff. Download the app and you got it made all wirelessly.

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

Yes it is. The wireless set up was easy. (Make sure you follow the instructions carefully) Once set up on my home network it worked fine. A recent update was pushed out but I've haven't had any problems.

Hi Rebecca, that would be a 'no'. This card is only for a wired (ethernet cable) connection, and has no wireless capabilities. A quick search on Amazon will give you lots of good wireless cards though, including little gadgets that just stick in a spare USB slot so you don't have to take the case off your computer to install a card. Good luck!

Yes it should work just fine. As long as your laptop has a good wireless card

It comes with a wireless card installed and you can use it right out of the box.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

I have one in my office (on wifi) and has worked flawlessly thus far. I don't use it intensely, but it has worked every time.

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?

When you attached this device you will turn off your internal card, and rely solely in this to receive you're wireless connection. So the range should be consistent across all devices. It will not combine with your other wireless signal to boost that one. I don't remember the effective range of this one specifically, but when I was using every day with my MacBook Pro, it was far better than the internal card. I eventually upgraded to newer better versions, that are obviously more expensive, but I loved this adapter. I hope that helped.

I bought mine because my computer's wi-fi stopped working, and I also do a lot of writing. Mine worked with no problems. Writing, in particular, is not as heavy as say, heavily graphics-heavy gaming. So for that, you should be just fine. As well as for most gaming, mind you, except perhaps the most intense.
