I am getting error code 10. and when I try latest drivers it says that the latest drivers are already installed.

    So, I have tried everything and nothing seemed to work while using ASUS drivers.  I am using the Broadcom 7.35.317.3 driver and things are running nicely.  Just installed it so really can't say if it is totally solved.  I have high hopes for this driver because this issue has been plaguing me for weeks.  Will post back if I have any issues.

    I had the same problem, and fixed it by doing this:

    1. Navigate to https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCEAC68/HelpDesk_Download/ and download the driver for Windows 10. (In my case it was Windows 10 64-bit).
    2. Open Device Manager by holding the Windows key and pressing R. I typed in devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
    3. Navigate to the yellow warning sign sitting under Network adapters and right-clicked it and selected Update driver.
    4. Select Browse my computer for driver software and choose the following path from the downloaded driver: [.....\UT_PCE_AC68_v2143\Driver\WIN10] and click Next. (For example, my full path was D:\UT_PCE_AC68_v2143\Driver\WIN10 but yours might easily be C:\Users[user]\Downloads\UT_PCE_AC68_v2143\Driver\WIN10 where your download was saved).
    5. Windows will install the driver correctly. The internet wasn't working for me right now, so I rebooted.
    6. Log back in, your internet will hopefully come back on in a few seconds.

    (Caveat, you must be connected to the internet over ethernet or save the driver on a separate computer and insert it into your computer with the faulty PCE-AC68 device via usb or cd)

    Okay so I ran into this issue, after setting a manual channel of the 5GHz network to 44, my PCE-AC68 could find the network but not connect.

    Antennas connected directly to the card rather than to the wired antenna mount. I rolled back my drivers to the ones shipped with the card, no use but the utility worked. Updated drivers to latest, utility doesn't work and Windows still wouldn't let me connect to the network.

    So after some nerdraging and google I read somewhere that HDMI cables near wireless antennas can sometimes disrupt the 5GHz signal, never heard that before and was skeptical at best. Changed PCI-E ports to above my graphics card to keep the antennas free of cable interference, no luck.

    But then I decided to use the antenna mount, said and done, got it out of the box and placed it on top of my desktop free of wires and anything else that might disrupt the signal.

    Lo and behold, I suddenly have a perfect connection to the 5GHz band with latest drivers from ASUS, if you haven't tried the antenna mount already, do it and place it on your desktop where you see fit. It seems that the 5GHz band is way more sensitive than the old 2.4GHz band, especially to poorly isolated cables, in my case a cheap HDMI cable.
