Looking for a wifi solution

TheMidnightNarwhal · July 3, 2016

I currently own an Asus Impact VI and the wifi on it has been great so far. As I'm getting a new build with a MOBO without integrated Wifi I would like something similarly speced in any kind of form possible. Preferably USB if it's possible, but if not PCI-E is ok or something else (?). My current Wifi specs are "Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac*3 Supports dual band frequency 2.4/5 GHz".

Thanks!

PCI-E wireless card is far more stable in my experience, especially on AC or high speed data transfer environment.

Ok so any PCI-E wireless card should do fine?

That is a little bit hit and miss, sometimes one adapter will not really play nice with some wireless router.

I personally use Intel Chip wireless AC card, since it has Bluetooth built-in such as this. But It is a bit on slow side, 867 Mbps. You can always buy TP-LINK or Asus one for better AC speed (1900mbps).

That's exactly the one I intended to get. Even tho 867 MBPS is not super, it's more than enough to get a steady 30 MBPS right? That's my ISP Speed and what I get currently on my VI Impact.

Of course it is steady enough for 30mbps. I usually can reach 100mbps stable on that card, just because the router Ethernet is limited to 100mbps.
