Hello, all. Today I present to you my problem: I plan to upgrade my router to a TP-LINK TL-WDR4300. However, my computer does not have a dual-band wireless card and the only PCIe x1 slot available is being covered by my EVGA 970 with the ACX 2.0 cooler. So, my friends, should I go with a USB wireless adapter? I've been looking at the Linksys AE3000 and don't see very many bad reviews. 

Also, if it helps, my current internet speed ranges anywhere from 5 mbps - 150 mbps, and the router is located a floor below me (hence why ethernet is not being used) with a distance of approximately 15-25 feet. 

As always, all feedback is appreciated. :D
