I've been a PC builder and working in the industry for 20 years, and this is the single most disappointing hardware purchase I've ever made. Before today I never imagined there could be so many things wrong with a single product.
First, let's start with the thing most immediately obvious when you open the box: This is not a Bluetooth PCIe card. It's a WiFi PCIe card, with a separate USB bluetooth adapter physically attached to it, which requires an empty USB pin header on your motherboard to plug it into. If you're plugging this into any proprietary store bought PC, then you can just forget it -- no bluetooth for you!
The second thing I noticed was when I tried to install it anyway to test it out. The card apparently has some kind of critical fault in it, because just by plugging it in, it causes the computer to crash every few seconds, usually before it can even boot up.
Third: There is no driver CD, and is not compatible out of the box with Windows 10. It's a network card that requires you to download the driver online. You do the math. Could it be that if you're buying a PCIe desktop wireless card it could be because you don't have a wired internet connection for your desktop?
I'm not just disappointed in this failure of a product at this point; I'm angry at the people who made and sold it for wasting my time. At $40 for this worthless thing, they should be paying *me* to return it.

|
|---|---|---|
Anti-oxidant Coating for PCIEThe PCIe gold finger is protected by an anti-oxidation coating to prevent damage to the gold plating during transportation and storage, resulting in poor contact. |
Quick Installation
Please connect the USB 9-pin cable（Black） that comes with the package to the USB 9-pin interface on the Motherboard after the installation of step b above，the White end connects to the pcie adapter socket. Then install the Bluetooth driver. |
The Bluetooth works fine, but there is no wifi？
Please Note： The network environment, router, barriers, laptop and PC 's internal memory…the interference of many factors can affect the wifi speed. |

In fact most of the similar WiFi6 adapters are dumb simple wiring adapter for Intel X200 or X201 WiFi6 modules with M.2 PCIe or M.2 CONv interfaces, intended for laptop or some advanced desktop motherboard (some Dell desktops have) use... so, nothing special, it just has to be quality PCB design (in Altium or similar ECAD), antennas, antenna pigtails, brackets and screws are all awailable components...2 brackets supplied for full size or low profile case installations. Antena connector holes on brackets match the shape of connectors itself (not round), so it makes easy to swap brackets and tighten nuts. As most of desktop plug-in cards it is very easy to install.As PCB is made in LP form factor, it is small size and doesn't obstruct video adapter fans, as in most cases available PCIe slots are a extremely to video adapter PCIe slots...If you are going to use it for Desktop PC only, there might be a reason getting some other models, as this exact one has no protective metal shield cover, regardless PCB itself has cover soldering perimeter line on it - solid con, as that has to protect module from EMI inside PC case. Still, card operates perfect, so no reduction on stars ;)BUT, that con turns into a huge pro... you can easily remove Intel AX200 module from the adapter without headache of desoldering protective cover, just small Philips screwdriver and you can transplant it to either desktop pc motherboard (as mentioned, some Dell desktops have similar M.2 PCIe or M.2 CONv based WiFi modules or upgrade your laptop one.Just pay attention to your laptop interface slot, if it is M.2 CONv, then you need Intel AX201 module based one. Intel AX200 module supports BT via separate USB line, so AX200 based WiFi6 adapters have USB pigtails to connect to MB.And BTW, as per Intel specs, both, AX200 and AX201 have BT 5.1 , so don't get confused if some similar boards will have BT5.0 in description... in fact it will be 5.1P.S. ⚠️ if you plan to upgrade laptop or desktop with integrated wifi module, make sure you download driver from Intel or provide computer with wired or alternate wireless connection to internet for automatic driver download... as Microsoft doesn't recognize it yet...P.P.S. yes, you can get Intel AX200 or AX201 from Mouser, DigiKey, Element14 etc., but +taxes+shipping... with Amazon Prime, you can have free shipping and plus delivery to secure locker nearby... ;) plus extra antennas, and adapter PCB... ;)

UPDATE: AX200 is so fast and works so great I bought a card for each of my laptops and both have the same great performance.
Can't Get Max Speed (UPDATE) 2 WK UPDATE
By MBC on January 30, 2020
I'm able to reach 574 on the 2.4 channel. But get passed 1.2GB on 5 channel. I have an Intel AX200 with the latest drivers. I tried every possible configuration. It took hours of searching but I found a post in a blog that said the 5g channel has to be set to a DFS selection to get the full benefit. I did that and got the max speed.By MBC on January 30, 2020
