The driver downloaded from launchpad needs to be installed by: dpkg -i Downloads/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223. The driver can be compiled from its sources provided at the Broadcom Homepage or from Launchpad. The kernel module bcmwl since version 6.30.223.141 can be used as a driver for the PCE-AC68. The Asus PCE-AC68 is quite clearly not a product for everyone, but for those keen to get the very best out of their 802.11n/ac networks it is by far the fastest. Lspci -nn 82:00.0 Network controller : Broadcom Corporation Device (rev 02)Īnd is compatible with Linux since at least Ubuntu 12.04.
The Asus PCE-AC68 is a PCI-Express card which bases on the BCM4360 chipset. When theres walls in the way and its always faster. Per ASUS's drivers, the PCI ID for the device is 14e4:43a0. To the ASUS PCE-AC66/68 or RT-AC68U in media bridge mode. At 600Mbit/s and 1.3Gbit/s respectively, they turn the PCE-AC68 into a formidable AC1900 wireless adapter, providing speeds that cannot be bettered by generic. In order to reach 600Mbps/2.4 GHz, RT-AC68U must connect.It would appear (from the photos provided to the FCC and those providedĭirectly from ASUS) that this device is identical to the ASUS PCE-AC66. This device is using a Broadcom BCM4360 (PCIe, 3x3 802.11b/g/n/ac)įor maximum PHY rates of 1.3Gbps on the 5GHz band (11ac) and 600Mbps on the 2.4GHz band (11n w/ QAM256 ).
