Fastest downloads speeds on any of my other wireless cards.
In Windows 8? Do not download the latest drivers, just plug and play will be enough. Why? In Win8, right after I downloaded the latest drivers, the connection would drop randomly, it was annoying. So, I put the old slower card and connection was fine but 20Mbps slower than the 50 rated.
Reinstalled Windows one day, put this card back w/o no updated drivers, now I'm getting up to 58Mbps on my 50/30 connection. This Wireless N6205 chip is amazingly fast. So, blame it on Windows.
Not really a Con but just in case.
About a year ago, I bought an Acer Timeline X laptop, I noticed that my DL speeds were fast, one day I decided to get a 2nd laptop, an Acer E1 series and decided to renew my Fios contract, upgraded to 50/35 from 25/25 and noticed that this laptop was getting a max of 20Mbps whereas my Timeline X was getting the full 50Mbps.
Checked the device manager in the TimeX and notice that it had a Centrino N6205, open my Acer E1 replaced the original (broadcom Wireless) for the N6205 and now the Acer E1 is getting the full 50, but up to 58Mbps.
I tested this Wireless N6205 on another laptop and definitely this is the best wireless N card that I have had, broadcom is slowest of them all. There's another brand which I forgot the name but that's the 2nd fastest, but regardless, the Centrino N-6205 is the best.
Box is clean...
Seems to have all sorts of issues dropping connections on Windows 10.
