Looking for a good PCIe Wifi and Bluetooth Adapter

ogretactics

I can't run a wired connection to my setup where I live anymore (*tears*), so I'm looking for a good PCIe card that can do both 802.11ac Wifi and Bluetooth 4.0. There is no free outlet where the internet is hooked up in the house (everything is in power bars) so powerline networking is also off the table. I've had bad experiences with desktop Wifi adaptors, particularly USB ones, in the past, but I haven't had to look into this type of solution for a while so I'm hoping the technology has made some improvements.

 

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This needs the wifi adaptor as well, doesn't it? So he would need to buy a laptop BT+WiFi module?

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure. The listing seems a bit confusing.

I have two Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I and they work really well. Theyre not the fastest AC wifi cards you can get, but theyve been insanely reliable for me.
