Pros: - cheap - fast, stable, reliable internet - yes, it is great for gaming
Cons: - Asus website does not have the most up to date drivers - Will BSOD and have major latency issues until you get the right drivers installed
Overall Review: So, I ordered this on a whim for my new gaming desktop. En route I read the slew of negative reviews consistently slamming this adapter for having terrible latency and huge ping spikes every minute. After assembling and starting up, the connection was horrible, massive latency spikes, just as other reviewers had said, and I was worried I just bought a lemon. My computer detected the device as "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260", which I figured was the problem. Went to the ASUS website and downloaded the drivers for this particular device, which did not help much. I was surprised that it installed newer Intel drivers, and that my computer still listed the adapter as an Intel device. At the end of my rope, I went to Device Manager and clicked "update driver". I thought to myself, "there is no way this can help, I installed these drivers right off of the manufacturer's website, they must be the most recent, right?" But, miraculously, Device Manager found newer Intel drivers, installed them, and I haven't had a problem since. Just did a ping test of the League of Legends NA server and my average MS is 21, with a high of 31. This is with my horrible free wifi from my apartment building, which is probably transmitting through several walls. For anyone interested, the most current stable drivers as of the date of this post are "version 20.30.1.2" Finally, found a Reddit article with another suggestion for this particular device: "go to <control panel: Device Manager: Network adapters: Disable device to: Bluetooth Device(Personal Area Network), BluetoothDevice (RFCOMM Protocol TDI), and Intel (R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V then restart the computer" This seemed to help too. In short, this is a perfectly fine cheap little adapter that gets the job done, after a bit of fiddling of course :)
