Yes, I have been able to install it in my ThinkStation with the low profile bracket. Works without problems!

Yes, there were a mistake in the specification, now it has been corrected.
It should be the "Auto" setting directly. Check if you have the latest software and drivers. Link from current driver: https://static.tp-link.com/2019/201911/20191129/TL-WN881ND V2 windows 10 RTL driver 2024.0.4.208.zip
I have a 500 MBit/s connection from UPC. With this, I first go via cable to a Netgear WNDR4000 "Gigabit Router". Then I have the TP-Link as an extension on the lower floor of my house. The TP-Link is "fed" by the Netgear wireless 2.4 GHz. - I use a strong Dell desktop and a higher-end Lenovo laptop, both with Windows 10. From Netgear router with cable: - With my desktop I can get 520 download / 51 upload (shit) at the moment, which is what UPC promises. - With my laptop I get 380 / 51. From the Netgear router wireless to the laptop, measured next to the Netgear (display: full signal strength): - On the 2.4 GHz band there is 62 / 51, on the 5 GHz band 120 / 51. From the TP-Link wireless to the laptop, measured next to the TP_Link (display: full signal strength): - 20 / 20 MBit/s So it's obviously quite a lottery with the achievable speeds. Maybe it's not only related to the devices and their drivers, but also to the settings of the firewall and antivirus programmes. I would probably have better speeds if I didn't use the Netgear and connected directly to the UPC modem. But I like to have another barrier to the internet. To be honest, the 20 MBit/s are enough for normal use anyway. For example, I can watch the daily news in HD on the SRF website without jerks. So I don't really notice the slow speed. Only when you want to move large amounts of data around is it a bit cramped.
Hello, first of all it would be good to know what kind of subscription you have from your provider and how great is the distance from PC to access point and on which range is your WLAN 2.4 or 5GHz?
No. It's also in the specifications. The following adapters would be suitable for WLAN and Bluetooth: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/netzwerkadapter-71?pdo=1038-7999:3624&p=1037:193993&so=5&tagIds=76-525 HPE HP Intel Wireless 7265 802.11ac PCIe x1
No. Only frequencies with 2.4GHz are supported.
Yes I have Windows 10 and it works, I can recommend it
Try contacting the support they send very helpful :D
No. Only 2.4GHz Bandwidths are supported.
Your Mobo must have a free pci-e slot and case slot!
I installed this in a gaming pc a fortnight ago and it works perfectly. I am very satisfied, even when gaming.
Yes, it is compatible. You can install it in any PCIe slot.
If the PCI-E x1 connection is not yet occupied, the card will fit on the board.
Yes, this is normally Plug&Play. The drivers are then installed automatically by Windows. Otherwise you can also install the driver manually: https://www.atheros-drivers.com/qualcomm-atheros-download-drivers-nr-309-with-code-3435.html Source: https://www.atheros-drivers.com/download-driver-nr-309-for-atheros-AR9287-and-Windows10.html
To say that this card fits *every* PC is certainly not possible. But it will fit many PCs. It's best to open the case of your PC before you order and see if it has a free PCI-E (x1) connector. You can recognise the PCI-E x1 connector very well in the product picture, these are the two protruding golden contacts at the bottom right.
As long as you have a free PCI-E slot, you can connect this card.
