best m.2 wifi card?

Fungal

I'm currently looking for an m.2 wifi network card for my pc due to my powerline ethernet disconnecting for a second every few minutes. My motherboard has 2 holes meant for antennas on the back io, so I'd prefer something with antennas since I assume the range is better. Bluetooth is a plus but if it's a tradeoff, then I'd take better wifi. I'm looking to spend around 20 USD, however I'm willing to spend more if there's a noticeable difference.

I bought TP-Link WR840N, change the setting as Range Extender in Tether app, connect PC to router with ethernet cable.

 

works flawlessly, more clutter tho.

That looks pretty interesting, could definitely be an option unless anyone says anything else

IMO its a bad choice as that router only supports much older WiFi and only at 2.4Ghz.

 

I'd personally grab an Intel AX200 off eBay or Amazon, you can probably find one supplied with the antenna cables.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) + GL.iNet GL-X3000/ Spitz AX WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
