What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Bluetooth version claims conflict: product details and a feature bullet say 5.2, while manufacturer copy also says 5.3 and references 4.2. Confirm the version for the selected card. The table's 574 Megabits Per Second listing is not identified by band, while feature copy assigns that rate to 2.4 GHz. The stated 75% lower latency is a manufacturer claim based on simulation and requires OFDMA support from the access point and all clients. Actual throughput and coverage vary with network and environmental conditions. Although customer feedback mentions Linux use, the stated OS support is Windows 11/10 64-bit only. Check PCIe slot and case fit before purchase.
