The adapter was bent at an awkward angle to the point where I had to force it into the PCIE slot when installing it. It was working as expected after it was installed however after a couple months of use it began not being able to detect any WI-FI networks and is now at the point of not functioning what so ever. This could be because of two reasons, either the WI-FI adapter is overheating because of the lack of a heatsink or the awkward bend on the adapter bracket itself causes it to shift out of place of the PCIE port constantly. Even if this product is only 10 I would advise you to spend a bit more on something more reliable.
