Best wireless adapter for PC

[BriskPanda]

I just built my PC last night, but I cheaped on the wireless adapter I bought and its only getting about 5mb/s through wifi. I was wondering whats the best adapter I can use to take advantage of my 90mb/s internet speed I pay for. Also is it better to get a PCI-E adapter or a usb

Would this adapter work? https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Adapter-Wireless-Network-802-11AC/dp/B01JUCUMBK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1474734415&sr=1-1&keywords=rosewill+ac1300

That will work fine.

I use that brand (rosewill) and it works great. The things you need to consider as to why your current one is slow is because the rosewill one has more bands. For example, the first one can be GG'd by your neighbors using their own wifi or your own microwave oven. Thats why alot of these newer routers also have multiple bands so there's less interference. I honestly prefer PCIe

So is something like this https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC1900-Adapter-PCE-AC68/dp/B00F42V83C overkill?

Does you acess point have ac? If it does it might help if its a high end ap. If you don't have wireless ac, no use.

Depends on your router. The 5ghz band would definitely help if your router has it.

I have the stock verizon router, this should be it https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-Verizon-Fios-Wireless-Router/dp/B00PME4F1E 2.4Ghz dual bands

 

So the Rosewill I posted first should be fine right?

Then there is no use getting a wireless AC unit.

well it'll work fine, but like I said: Your router only has a 2.4 ghz band. Honestly your bottle neck might be your wireless. Is there no way you can use a wired connection?

No not where the router is placed
