Product Description
What This Product Does
Wireless N PCI Express Adapter TL-WN881ND allows you to connect a desktop computer to a high-speed wireless network. Using MIMO (multiple input multiple output) and CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) technologies, it provides a fast and reliable wireless connection with speed up to 300 Mbps.
Key Features
300 Mbps Wireless N with MIMO
MIMO technology shows a more efficient ability of reducing data loss over long distance and through obstacles. As a result, TL-WN881ND has a larger coverage and faster speed than 150 Mbps wireless N or previous generations.

--EDIT--
After getting some Windows Updates, this started to run a lot faster and with greater reception. Turns out it was my machine that needed updates... or something. 'tis all good now and I'm enjoying it
So I gave it two more stars and changed the title of this review.
Did I mention the affordability? I'm in the process of building another computer and plan on buying this again :)
:UPDATE:
Gaming great with no lag!
Built three computers and they all have one of these. I started a fourth and it's gotta have one, too
If you want easy and reliable, this is it. You don't have to be a pro to install one of these in a PC. Just make sure you have the PCI-E slot in your motherboard. Best thing to do to find out is to open your motherboard and look for the little interface slots. Look at the close-up photo for this motherboard http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1426157777&sr=1-5&keywords=asus+motherboard the PCI-E slots are blue.
My suggestion is, if you want reliable wifi connection for your PC, get this, not a USB Wifi device. I used to have one and lost connection or the connection reliability always was flaky. I was a little skeptical at first if a $20 wifi card would be good, but it is. Hope this review helps you decide.
