What are the top three wireless network cards you would recommend? I built a home/work desktop for someone but they do not have the ability to connect via Ethernet. I figure Wifi 5 should hold them for the next decade. Thank you in advance.

 

FYI, I was looking at this guy but no one had it for a reasonable price (less than ~ $45), and it seems to get awesome reviews and very few problems. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1125125-REG/gigabyte_gc_wb867d_i_bluetooth_4_0.html

Instructions for frustration management:  

1) Sit at desk.   2) Repeatedly slam forehead against desk.

 

I never said I was smart, just smart enough to be dangerous.

 

 

ORLY?

The best Wi-Fi card on the consumer market is the ASUS PCE-AC88,It's a beast that can do 1Gb on Wi-Fi.

You will need a good router as well,it will go nicely with an ASUS RT-AC85P.

While I appreciate your reply and suggestion... this person is not willing nor wanting to pay $100+ for a wifi card.
