it should be in a m.2 slot, so a intel AC 9560 would probably be the best

wait.. it only occur to me just now that I did not turn my wifi on... the machine works fine.. Thank you for the help. LOL ?

Here is the model I am using right now. It works fine in windows but ubuntu cannot detect it.

Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter Subsystem: Lenovo Device b023 Physical Slot: 0 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 78 I/O ports at 2000 Memory at d0700000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: rtw_pci Kernel modules: rtwpci, r8822be

 

What model can I purchase in order to make it work the best with ubuntu/linux (and windows)?

I am simply looking at hardware solution right now. I want it to work out of the box.

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.
