    Good product. No drivers included. Meh.No drivers included? Come on... get with the program. This isn't 1998 all over again. Does it work? Sure. Would it be better if I didn't have to waste an hour hunting through shareware sites for drivers? Absolutely.2Great UpgradeWent hunting for a decent mid ranged laptop and ended up with the ASUS X550Z. Lovely laptop able to handle my favorite computer games, especially CS:GO. Only minor set back was the WiFi card was not allowing me to keep stable connections. Sometimes it worked fine other times it was a roller coaster of great ping to horrendous unplayable ping. Long story short, did some research and found that a lot of other owners were experiencing same or worse problems after the Win 10 update. Thats when I decided I needed to swap the WiFi card with something else and stumbled upon this awesome card on amazon. It was hard work to install it, but the end results were well worth it. After the install, windows was able to install a driver automatically and I went straight to test Internet speeds. Compared to the previous card this card was flying and had a consistent upload and download. Tested loading videos on Hulu amd experienced almost no more wait time for buffering when jumping from point to point on the video. Last test was playing CS:GO and was pleased to see lower ping, less choke and loss, which basically means a great gaming experience and the missing piece to this great laptop. At least for it's price range. ($500).Overall it exceeded my expectations and drastically made my laptop that much more pleasing to use. It also came with Bluetooth which my previous card did not have. Great buy, if your looking to have better WiFi connections and know your way around computers, know someone that is or patient enough to learn from youtube, this card is a great investment on improving your laptop network wise.5Card works fine to achieve full AC Speeds. Connects at 800+Mbps with wireless showing the full speed from the providerI got this card in replacement of the Intel Network 7260.HMWG WiFi Wireless-AC 7260. The Intel 7260 AC has a problem where the wireles is in limited mode on wakeup from Sleep. Intel has tried to fix the problem for a long time but haven't been able to. This card works well. I do get connected to over 800 Mbps when on Wifi. Bluetooth works well.On Windows 8.1, the wireless driver gets auto detected. The bluetooth needs a manual driver and after the purchase of the wireless card, I received an email from the Amazon seller with the driver link which worked perfectly fine.Driver Link:[...]5but the kext patches were perfect. As I type this I bought this, as many others have, for a hackintosh build, to replace the stock half-size on the Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI. I followed the process outlined by toleda in his github repo, set up the FakePCIID, handoff patch, and BT 4LE patch via kext injection and had a fully-functional onboard Wifi and BT.Clover injection did not work for me for whatever reason, but the kext patches were perfect. As I type this, it's powering a full duplex ac connection and four bluetooth devices. 5Works Great on an old laptop. I have an old laptop, about 7 years old, it has wireless N and no blue tooth, I use it to stream movies from my PC to my TV. Upgading it to this card which has AC let's me stream larger files and I can now use a blue tooth remote.It comes with nothing, just the card in a plastic wrap, no drivers or instructions. But it is easily installed and windows 10 found the drivers with no problem. For the money it was worth the buy and I am glad I bought it. 5Works great, with some workI bought this card to have an internal solution for 802.11ac Wifi and Bluetooth 4.0 in my Hackintosh. It took a lot of effort to get both the Wifi and the Bluetooth working with Mac OS X, and the Bluetooth is still a bit flakey, but it works quite well most of the time. Word to the wise: If you need Bluetooth to work, you need to know that the Bluetooth on this card actually connects via USB. So if you're buying it to use in a desktop system that needs a Mini PCIe -> PCIe adapter card, or you're buying it for a notebook or a desktop system with an on-board Mini PCIe slot, you need to make sure that either the PCIe adapter card or the Mini PCIe slot supports USB; not all do. The PCIe adapter I bought is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DV582R4, and while a little more expensive than a lot of the adapter cards out there, I can confirm that it has USB support - even comes with a cable to connect to a USB header on your motherboard - and is of better quality than a lot of the cheaper ones.4Works like a charm in HP 13 Split X2I bought an HP Split 13 X2 with a horrible Ralink Combo card. Worked with HP to get the first one replaced, had hoped for the supported Broadcom card as the replacement. They shipped me another Ralink, it was better than the original but still performed very poorly. HP and Lenovo unfortunately use a whitelist in their BIOS to block the use of cards that they have not approved. The Broadcom chipset used in the approved Broadcom combo card is the same as the AW-CE123H. I asked online with Amazon if this would work in an HP and got lots of well meaning guesses. The final one stating that it would not work in HP or Lenovo.I found a post where someone had installed an AW-CE123H in an HP split 2 and it worked so I decided to risk the $32 and give it a try. I installed it and powered up the unit and the wireless immediately started working, connected to my wireless network and the Bluetooth was also working in just a couple of mins. I can now stream media center video and connect to a Bluetooth speaker without stutter or delay. With the Ralink card it would stutter and disconnect.5Nice upgrade for Dell E6220 and E7240I purchased a few of these adapters to upgrade some of my laptops. One replaced an old Intel 6205 in my Dell E6220 and another replaced an Intel 7260 in my Dell E7240. Bear in mind that both laptops are running Windows 10. After booting up, both laptops recognized the new adapters and I was able to connect to my wireless network. First thing I did was to let Windows search for updated drivers and install them. Windows should recognize and install drivers for both the wifi and bluetooth. I did run into an issue on my E6220 where Windows initially only recognized the wifi, I couldn't get it to see the bluetooth. I uninstalled the adapter, removed and re-seated it, and Windows finally recognized the full card. I had no issues in the E7240.Both laptops are able to connect at full speed to the 5Ghz wifi from my 802.11AC router. I'm able to max out the bandwidth from my ISP. I've also been able to use the bluetooth with no issues.If you're installing these into machines running Windows 10, the drivers should automatically install for you. I can't speak for other Windows versions, but the seller did send a follow-up email with a link to Windows 7/8 drivers via Google drive should they be needed.So far, I'm pleased with the upgrade as these have performed as expected.4Works, but some facts you need to knowIf you are short of time, you can jump to the end of review.This is a Broadcom combo module that includes Broadcom 4352 as the WiFi module, and Broadcom 20702A3 as the bluetooth module. Broadcom 4352 is connected to PCI-E interface, while Broadcom 20702A3 is connected to USB bus. This might sound counter-intuitive to you, but the fact is that some machine provides USB bus on the Mini PCI-E interface. You have to determine whether your machine supports that by yourself. For example, Intel NUC box does NOT provide USB interface thru its Mini PCI-E. If you are looking for an integrated solution for a desktop, do look for a Mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapter WITH USB CONNECTOR. You will need to connect the USB connector to your mother board. If your mother board has only 1 USB connector, and its already occupied by the front panel, think twice before you buy.Regarding Mac OS X, this module does NOT work OOB. Mac OS X tries to drive the WiFi module with 43224 kext, but it will only crash Mac OS X kernel. You will have to remove 43224 kext and inject device code to 4360 kext to make it work. Before 10.9 (inclusive), 4360 kext can be binary-modified to support 5GHz with this module, but this method does not work for Yosemite. Before a new binary patch is available, this module will only work on 2.4GHz channels with Yosemite. For the bluetooth side, it works OOB, but it will not support Yosemite's handoff feature. This bluetooth module is Broadcom 20702A3, the one that supports handoff is 20702B0. They are similar, but Mac OS X needs certainty, not similarity! You might find some luck extracting EFI string and modify that to fool Mac OS X to think it as 20702A3, but I would not think that is straightforward, and I'm too lazy to give a single try.In short (for those who skipped the above bulky), this device requires a USB bus provided thru Mini PCI-E to make bluetooth work, it supports Mac OS X with some effort and WiFi only works on 2.4GHz channel for Yosemite, it does not support Yosemite's handoff feature.This missing star is for the missing USB bus requirement in the description page.UPDATE:I'm updating my review since my NUC magically got the bluetooth. I have no idea what happened.And, a binary hack has been found to enable handoff of OS X. In short, you need to do the following steps to get WiFi, Bluetooth (w/ handoff support) to work under Mac OS X.1. Make sure you don't install it at the beginning.2. Install OS X, install clover, AND REMOVE the 943224 driver under IO80211Family.kext. (Yes, it's ugly. We should compose some disabler kext to give a probe score higher than 943224 driver but lower than 94260 driver)3. You need to do a plist hack to get WiFi driven.4. You need to use a kext called BluetoothFirmwareUploader to get bluetooth driven.5. You need to do a binary hack to get 5GHz support.6. Yet another binary hack to get handoff support of the bluetooth.7. Each time you wanna update OS X (e.g. 10.10 to 10.10.1), you need to download the dmg, because you gotta delete 943224 driver before restart. Kernel panic otherwise.Well, as you see, this is not at all straightforward. For those binary hacks, please search for "Yosemite BCM94352" on Google.4Way better than 7260ac on Windows 10After updating to Windows 10 from Windows 7, the Intel 7260ac in my laptop could no longer find any networks. Attempting to install the latest drivers from the Intel site resulted in my first Windows 10 BSOD, so I pulled it out and replaced it with this card. Came up immediately and I'm getting a steady 866.5Mbps connected to my Asus RT-AC68R in the next room (the 7260 would alternate between 500-something and 200-something). Bluetooth also worked out of the box with no issues. Very happy!5Great wireless card once you get your hands on the drivers The device performed as expected. My only complaint was the difficulty in accessing the drivers online. Had I been at home this wouldn't have been an issue but I was forced to install 7-zip software on a clients computer and jump through several hoops just to get a simple installer. The hosting of these drivers could easily be improved making this a 5 star product. 3Works great so far on Toshiba Satellite P755 series - Instructions on chip install includedHello,Hoping this review helps anyone who is looking to purchase this chip as a replacement in their laptop.I own a Toshiba Satellite P755-S5120 laptop that originally came w/ an Intel Centrino 6150 Wireless N + Wimax chipset. As far as I know, my computer doesn't contain the mentioned "whitelist" that blocks certain hardware pieces from being interchanged on the laptop (as far as wireless cards are concerned). I know this because I'm writing this review w/ the new Broadcom Azurewave chipset installed in my computer and haven't had any issues yet (hence my 4-star rating). I also searched through my bios and found nothing about a whitelist in there... Maybe it's hidden but I didn't see anything that hinted at it.Before my purchase I was looking at two replacement cards, one being the Intel Centrino 7260 w/ 5Ghz capability and the Broadcom Azurewave BCM4352 . I recently purchased an Asus router (AC1750) and found that my wireless would occasionally cutout on my laptop, but all of my other electronics would be fine (also the 2.4Ghz speed wasn't the fastest), so I decided to upgrade. I'm still not sure why my laptop wireless card would constantly dropout, perhaps it was the router or too many people on the 2.4Ghz band in my cramped complex, but my girlfriend has a Mac that runs fine on the router, and with everything else working on it I could only isolate it to the wireless card on my laptop.I read multiple reviews on both Intel and broadcom chips and decided to go w/ the azurewave. Multiple reviews mentioned they actually tried out both and found the Azurewave to install easier (I saw someone install on a Toshiba which appealed to me) and perform faster across longer range. I live in a tiny apartment so range isn't a concern but if I can get added performance why not. Here were the steps I followed the install the card and so far everything is working great! No wireless dropouts yet.1. Make sure the card is compatible w/ your laptop/computer. You can easily do this by typing in your laptop model in google and searching images for "laptop xxx wireless card". I did Toshiba satellite P755-S5120 wireless card in google images and even found a video on youtube that told me how to take out the old card and install a new one which is very simple if you have the right tools.2. Manually download the drivers for the old chipset so you can revert back in case the new card doesn't work... Probably overlooked w/ some approaches but can save you some time in the long run.3. Look for drivers w/ the new chip before installing. This way when you pop the card in you can boot up, install the drivers and you're good to go. If you have the ability to wire into a router, that will work too. I just googled "windows 7 driver for Broadcom BCM4352" and a support page from lenovo came up w/ the correct file for Windows7.4. Now that you have the new chip in your hands, manually uninstall the old drivers for your current wireless card. You will lose internet (unless hardwired in) so this is why steps 2-3 are important. I read on another review that performing this step seemed to help w/ installation on the new card so I did it and it worked... Possibly could have worked w/ not uninstalling but I cannot comment on that.5. With old drivers uninstalled, follow a video or instructions of removing the old card from your laptop and pop the new one in. Make sure you store the old card in a safe place in case you must revert back.6. Pop the new one in, install the new broadcom drivers per your OS/computer. The drivers I got for Windows7 came right up, installed in about 2-3 min, asked for a reboot and now I'm on my 5Ghz channel with no problems.Hope this review helps! Enjoy!4I finally found the AC cards I have been looking for.I wanted to upgrade the Intel cards in my laptops Naturally, I went with "better" Intel AC cards. They went in just fine and seemed to work fine. What I found out is that they were faster but they had problems maintaining throughput on both my home network and the other networks I regularly used. They would just drop signal and I would have to either power down the card of restart the computer. This was very frustrating.I did a it of research and decided on these Broadcom based cards. As with the Intel cards, they installed easily and I was up and running immediately. What sets them apart is the performance. They are just as fast as the Intel cards and they have not dropped signal once, anywhere. They are completely stable and reliable. I finally found the AC cards I have been looking for.5
