The GIGABYTE team ? A LOSING team
Equipped with this product and a Gigabyte X299 Ultra Durable UD4 motherboard (https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00230609.html), I have like other users (https://forum.canardpc.com/threads/117393-PC-ne-s-%C3%A9teint-plus-et-red%C3%A9marre-seul-carte-r%C3%A9seau-GC-WB867D-I) a MAJOR PROBLEM with this network card. When you turn off the computer with the virtual or physical button, it restarts because of this network card, only unplugging it with power turns it off.
You arrive in the refund box.
PS: Same brand two products directly linked and that do not work well together...

Not compatible with ESXi
It's still a good card, so I'll give it 5 stars.
However, I had to return it because I wanted to do PCI Passthrough on an ESXi, but the card isn't supported by the OS, which is a shame.Review automatically translated -

Good product
Satisfactory multi-device range, magnetic antenna so you can put it anywhere (strong enough magnet).
USB cable for connecting to motherboard included.
Downside: the cable is really short (approx. 1m).
Great delivery.Review automatically translated -

Does not work properly depending on the network.
The card has never worked on internet boxes (orange and free), it only works in connection sharing. I only have 20GB of internet, so I can't use the card. I'm not sure how to use it, but I'm not sure how to use it, but I'm not sure how to use it. But despite all the evidence, they don't want to do anything for me. Disappointed with all the equipment I buy, for a product at 45€, not solving me encourages me to stop buying from you. If I have a problem with a more expensive component, what will happen?

Very good map
The wi-fi and bluetooth are well handled, easy to install and connect.
The only hitch is that the magnet tends to slip on my tower, but I don't want to blame the magnet, you never know.Review automatically translated -

Not a great performance
Honestly not good.
The speed is really random on this card. I replaced it with an ASUS PCE-AX58BT which works perfectly.
I wouldn't take Gigabyte anymore.Review automatically translated -

Works right out of the box under Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
This hardware works under Linux from the start, as it embeds an Intel chip whose support is integrated into the kernel via the "iwlwifi" driver. Both functions, Wifi and Bluetooth, work without any problem (one detail: for Bluetooth, you have to use the supplied cable to connect the USB connector of the card to the corresponding one on the motherboard).

Excellent quality, no problems under Linux
The two built-in functions of this adapter (Wifi and Bluetooth) work straight away under Ubuntu 20.04 without the need to install any additional drivers. The reason is that this card has an Intel chip, which is supported by the "iwlwifi" driver installed in Ubuntu.
For Bluetooth, note that you need to connect the supplied cable to connect the USB terminals of the card to the USB terminals of the motherboard.
As for Wifi, the performance seems excellent (800 Mb/s connection to my Freebox), but it is true that the conditions are favourable (distance of less than 5 metres).Review automatically translated -

Satisfied.
I finally mounted the card on the second classic PCI slot because the PCI mni is too close to the graphics card on my setup.
It works perfectly, very good WIFI speed and Bluetooth at the top.
I'm happy with my purchase and the LDLC service. I will probably get a second one for another PC.Review automatically translated -

works on a Linux/Windows installation
The card is very well received, easy to install (I have a disk drive) or do a scan with the "all drivers" software and it will be fine. The card works very well on a dual Linux/Windows installation.

Caution! Requires a free internal USB port
Hello,
Before buying, check that you have an internal USB connector (9-pin connector, called JUSB or F_USB) free on your motherboard! Indeed, in order to use the bluetooth functionality, it is necessary to connect the wifi card to an internal USB port. The cable is provided with the wifi card.
If you don't want to use the bluetooth functionality, a PCIe port is enough.
The wifi seems to work fine so I would say no problem there.
I can't put a rating higher than half as I can't use half of the features and it's not due to a lapse of attention on my part. I would have liked to have the information in the product sheet, at least there if I had made a mistake I could not have complained.
I would have liked to have seen this information on the product sheet, at least if I had been wrong I wouldn't have been able to complain. This information is not available on the product sheet either :'(Review automatically translated -

Perfect for Linux
As expected, this product works perfectly under Linux (Xubuntu 20.04 LTS) with the free drivers present in the kernel of most distributions.
No problems to report, despite an MSI motherboard (A320M-A PRO) which seems to cause problems when switching off for other users.
The performance is excellent, and this product replaces very advantageously the "Wi-Fi USB keys" that preceded it.Review automatically translated -

Be sure to read how to connect the card before purchasing
If you do this everything works, except the bluetooth drivers which don't install automatically in windows update (unlike wifi) so don't think half the card is broken because of that.

Easy to install, LDLC helped me to install it with the cat.
For this purchase, I asked LDLC for information. They recommended this product to me.
Perfect delivery service.
I am not an expert in installation, and with the online help of LDLC in half an hour I had everything installed and it worked well.
I was very satisfied with the product and the after sales service.Review automatically translated -

Requires a USB connection for bluetooth to work
The card itself works very well and is recognized by windows during installation, no need for drivers.
But an important point that I missed is that it requires a USB connection to the motherboard via a 9-pin cable (the same as the cables that connect the USB plugs on the front of a box to the motherboard) for the bluetooth to work.
Without this connection, only the wifi works.
So if your motherboard has only one USB riser (which is my case, with a Gigabyte A520M DS3H) you'll have to choose between bluetooth or the plugs on the case (unless you buy a 9-pin doubling hub, which exists but is not easy to find)
Note however that a 9 pin USB riser has 2 USB sockets, and the card only uses one for BT, so there is a USB type A connector on the card that allows you to plug in another USB device
The antenna supplied with it is magnetic (and tiltable on the side) which allows it to be attached to the case. The cables that connect the antenna to the card are 70cm long
I did speedtest tests, about 85Mbps between the PC and my freebox revolution located at about 7m and behind a brick wall.Review automatically translated -

Be careful to install it properly!
Network card that does its job very well!
I had some initial problems with the Wi-fi: it didn't work, the system didn't detect the network card. The Bluetooth, however, worked perfectly.
I reinstalled the drivers a good ten times, trying several versions. I searched on the Internet for the problem, but to no avail.
Finally, I realised that I had just installed it on the wrong PCI slot.
So be careful, check the documentation of your motherboard, on mine, the PCI ports are paired two by two, if you put this network card on the port paired with your graphics card, the network card will not work and the performance of your graphics card will be reduced!
In short, when you're not a slob like me, this network card is great. I use it for a bluetooth gamepad and for wifi at home. Since I got it, my PC downloads 3 times faster (I was on Powerline before).Review automatically translated -

Very good but!
I'm very pleased with this product, it's very easy to recognize, the signal reception and the speed are very good.
The only drawback is that the card is too short and on some cases like mine (a Phanteks Evolv) there is no way to attach it to the case.Review automatically translated -

works very well with wifi
It works very well in wifi but uses an internal usb port for bluetooth and I only have the 20 pin usb3/usb2 connector available which requires a cable that I don't have but I hardly use bluetooth (for the moment).

Good Network Card
I am quite happy with this purchase. Some people say they have problems with their motherboards. I have an ASRock B450M and everything works perfectly. After that, I only gave it 8/10 because firstly, the remote antenna leaves a lot to be desired in terms of quality and secondly because the card sometimes takes a long time to detect new networks (well, I reassure you, it doesn't take more than 1 minute but it's still long.......). But in summary: it does its job

Works well under Linux.
Purchased a few months ago, clear. WiFi 5G and bluetooth work very well under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
At first, I had micro cuts from time to time with my Bose bluetooth speaker (bought in 2013 so not up to the latest standard) but for the last 2-3 months or so this is no longer the case. I haven't changed anything, probably an update that solved the problem.Review automatically translated -

Works perfectly...but in USB
No problem with this wifi + BT card. You need to have a free internal usb port.
The remote magnetic antenna is excellent.
But there is NO low profile bracket provided, which I find incomprehensible considering the marketing target of an additional daughter card for a fixed PC.
So I cut out my bracket with a grinder and put it in my Home Theater PC (antec vsk-2000) to get rid of the cable network.Review automatically translated -

Works perfectly under Linux
Recognised natively under Linux ( KDE Neon 5.17 / Ubuntu 18.04) for both WiFi and BT. (AsRock B450M pro4 motherboard).
I like that the antenna base is magnetic, so it stays on the PC case without breaking its face.Review automatically translated -

Plug and play" (or almost), simple and effective!
Purchased to replace an aging Wi-Fi card. I took this card and installed it on my Gigabyte Z170XP motherboard. It worked great, no boot problems (which some people have had), or incompatibility issues.
The installation of the Wi-Fi driver was very simple thanks to the CD that came with the card.
I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I simply went to look for the driver manually on the manufacturer's website. Download, install, reboot and everything worked perfectly! I believe that I had 10/15 minutes max. of installation. Simple and efficient !Review automatically translated -

Compatibility problem bis
Same problem with PC shutdown, with an MSI z370 SLI plus motherboard. Tested with or without the USB cord (for bluetooth), on Windows 10 64 up to date, as well as under Linux (Ubuntu 18.10), the problem is the same.
I have to unplug the power cord or turn off the PC now :(Review automatically translated -

Beware of compatibility issues
I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time.
I've been trying to shut down the pc (button, command line, etc.., everything is updated, bios, etc.. Windows well set up), my pc turns back on by itself. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same software as the one I'm using now. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use an msi motherboard.Review automatically translated
