The card is actually "Plug&Play", so you don't need to install an additional driver, but the software from Asus may help: https://www.asus.com/ch-de/Networking-IoT-Servers/Adapters/All-series/PCE-AC88/HelpDesk_Download/
I am convinced that compatibility should not be a problem. My MB is GBT G1.Sniper5 [LGA 1150, Z87] and especially with range signal strength stability ect ect the adapter is absolutely recommendable so far.
Sincerely
I'm not worried because the height of the card doesn't exceed the height of the PCI slot. I have a 3080 which is really tall and no worries about getting the asus Wi-Fi card on top.
Hopefully I've been able to help you, have a good evening!
The AC88 automatically takes the band with more reception and more stability. Make sure that the two networks 2.4 and 5ghz run on separate SSIDs on your modem. That is, they have different names. This makes it easier to control them individually under Windows.
Hey Schoggimaa
I have installed the latest version of Windows 10. It works without any problems for me. I haven't had any failures so far. I've had it for about 6 months :)

Yes, it is simply an expansion card. It only needs a free PCI-E x1 slot. Plug it in, install the drivers and go. Very good card and very good antennas.
I see no reason why this should not work as long as a PCI-E slot is free. I recommend increasing the ARP cache to 4096 in advance in case of any connection problems and interruptions, even under Windows 10. I already had problems with the predecessor card PCE-AC66 until I came up with this solution. http://netscantools.blogspot.ch/2013/05/arp-cache-behavior-in-windows-8-7-and.html
The card is good. But cable is better. For gaming, you want low latency and super-fast ping times. With wLAN, there are simply many factors that can have a strong influence on performance and over which you may have no influence, such as the wLAN networks of your neighbours. Depending on this, the frustration can be great because you expect too much and then realise that there are no miracles. Sometimes you have to try and tweak for a long time until you get it right. But if a cable is not an alternative, go for it. The card is in the high-end range. But if you have a router with WiFi6, I would take the AX58BT, also because of the Intel AX200 chip. In addition, the card can be configured more finely. With the AC88 you have a Broadcom chip and the drivers are, in my opinion, so la la. In my environment, the AX58BT offers significantly more performance than the AC88, assuming a WiFi6 router, of course.
What do you mean by a stable connection? No connection problems? Without details about the initial situation (or existing problems) and the desired result, you are somewhat in the dark.
The card works perfectly with all conceivable routers, including the Connect Box. I see no reason why a second router should be operated in bridge mode. That only brings a loss of performance.
If you want to use a higher-performance router in the UPC network, you switch the UPC box to modem mode anyway and connect the second router to the UPC box via cable.
