Posted November 2, 2019 This is the mother board I am using, Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard, I don't know which Network Adapter I should use. I feel that I shouldn't buy the cheapest one because they will probably be slow but don't want to spend a lot of money either. Thanks in advance!

Posted November 2, 2019 Why not use the built in NIC? Are you looking for a wireless NIC?

Helps to know if we should care about WiGig (Wifi 6) vs 802.11 AC (Wifi 5) vs older. If you have at least Wifi N or AC then the quick thought I'd have is a nice 5dbi antenna, external USB 3.0 adapter, like this one: https://www.newegg.com/netis-wf2190-usb-3-0/p/N82E16833389035 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1119737-which-network-adapter-should-i-buy/#findComment-13015035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
