Unlike the T9E however, it does seem to have a couple nice advantages over its competitor the AC-66. Like the T9E, it has the same antenna situation that I would personally recommend replacing. The T8E is a older, slower model ,similar to ASUS's AC-66.
Personally from what I can see, I'd get the ASUS instead of this one. I am not aware of any distinct advantage of the T9E, but like I said I've been out of the loop on wireless adapters so perhaps someone else might have a reason to recommend it. The T9E is TP-Link's direct competitor to the AC-68, but it costs a few bucks more (at least in my area), and has short, albeit removable, antennas which I would want to replace with something I could position farther away from the system. Look for something that either has a long extension on the antennas, or better yet standard removable antenna connectors so that you can replace them yourself with something appropriate for your particular setup.Ĭlick to expand.In the same price range as the AC-A8 you have the TP-LINK Archer T8E and T9E. What I do know is that you absolutely do not want your antennas just sticking out the back of your PCI card (or worse yet, no antennas at all) as your metal chassis will do an amazing job blocking your transmissions and giving you some lovely double digits packet loss.
Without knowing more about what you are looking for, it is hard to recommend anything precisely, but I wouldn't shy away from a well-reviewed unit from either brand.Īs for a pci-e adapter, I can't recommend anything as I haven't had any use for wireless in a desktop for nearly 10 years now. That said, they also have a lot of junk older products in their catalog that you need to be wary of.įor your budget, there are currently a whole lot of really great options that will be more than enough for most users.
TP-Link has made some really nice stuff lately - often matching competitor's models for significantly lower prices.
