If you need a PCIe X1 wifi card, this is a great cost effective option
The included antennas are large and adjustable, and it's super easy to stick in your X1 slot. It uses a generic driver, and seems to work fine most of the time. Occasionally it will need to restart, but will work fine afterwards. I don't seem to be able to change the MAC address, but it's still worth the money for an entry level wifi card. It came with a mini CD, which I don't have a way to use, but I haven't needed it as the generic drivers work just fine. I have a Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra case, so I was happy to buy from a brand I knew to make good products. I won't say I am disappointed, especially for the price of $10, but I do wish I could customize things like the MAC address. Connection is strong and, for the most part, reliable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great speed, seems solid on windows drivers
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020
I was really nervous about this card. The reviews are cause for concern. I installed it with some trepidation and tried to use the TP-Link Archer drivers from TP-Link's website, but they wouldn't install. They didnt detect a compatible card installed. I didnt have an optical drive handy to install the disk that came with the card, and was afraid to do so anyway based on the instability other users reported. So, I left it with the windows drivers, which I tried to update through device manager, but Windows already had the latest version it was aware of.
First time I put the computer to sleep and resumed, the wifi connection was lost. I thought: here we go. But I then put the computer to sleep and resumed several times with no issues. And using speedtest, my wifi speeds were almost doubled from my previous speeds using the reasonably new wifi built into my MSI motherboard. The image I attached is from a speedtest through this card connected to my Linksys WRT1900ACS, which was pretty close to the computer. After a few days of running with the Windows drivers, I can say it seems to be pretty solid. I didnt quite see the speeds I hoped for, but I did see a big improvement over the previous wifi. Could I potentially increase my speed with better drivers? Sure. Probably. But based on the other reviews, it seems equally likely I might cause a major issue with my system, so will settle for good enough.
