Advice on WiFi adapter to buy

[Matias_Chambers]

So I recently moved and I don't have access to ethernet at the moment. Looking to buy a WiFi adapter for my PC. I think I need a USB adapter instead of PCIe because I don't have much space. After a quick google search I am thinking the ASUS USB-AC68 AC1900 is the best option. Budget is about 85 USD max, could maybe pay more if performance is a lot better. Main thing I am looking for is a stable connection for gaming. Range shouldn't really be an issue. Any better options or does anyone think I should try a PCIe card?

After the internal options I've tried wound up failing, I gave up and went to a 1200mbps USB dongle. It has never given me a problem. Even if it did, it can be swapped out in seconds if you have a spare handy.

 

I'm not sure where the exact one I have came from, as it was a gift, but this one seems very similar.

I also would suggest a USB one. More universal, more useful if you later get a wired connection, can use it elsewhere or easily sell it. But I would suggest something from a brand that I know like TP-link.

Asus one seems a bit like a scam, wi-fi is wi-fi, it will not be magical.

Just ordered the T3U Plus since its cheap and the reviews seem good enough. Can always upgrade if it somehow ends up being terrible.
