In a modern household with a mesh router, 20+ smart devices, and 4K streaming, the RTL8723AE will become a bottleneck. However, if you only need to run a legacy POS system, an old media center, or a lightweight Linux distro for basic browsing, the card is still functional.
The Realtek RTL8723AE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC provides excellent wireless performance, with speeds of up to 150 Mbps. The chip's MIMO technology and support for the 802.11n standard enable it to provide a strong and reliable wireless signal, even in areas with high levels of interference. realtek rtl8723ae wireless lan 802.11n pci-e nic
