Need help upgrading router and pci-e wireless adapter

[BriskPanda]

Just built my first PC two days ago! but my internet connection on it is terribly low compared to the prebuilt I had before 

 

I Currently I have an Actiontec MI424WR Rev.I router that is from Verizon

I also have this $15 PCi-E adapter

Since the internet speed was so slow I came to the conclusion that not only should I upgrade my PCI-E adapter, but also my router so I can get the speeds supported by the new adapter

 

Currently I am thinking about purchasing the TP Link AC750 dual band gigabit router or the AC1200 dual band wireless router, but I am unsure what the point of getting the 1200 over the 750 is because the 750 has gigabit

1200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704265

 

I am also thinking about buying this Rosewill AC1300 PCI-E dual band adapter to go with the router

If someone can look over everything and tell me anything they see that is troubling that would be much appreciated 

Im on a $100 budget in case anyone has any suggestions for other parts instead of the ones linked

Plug the PC into Ethernet run a speedtest then compare that to the TP-Link Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter.

 

Then you will know what you need.

 

Ur current router doesn't support AC.

and use an intel wireless adapter

On ethernet I was getting 86/Mbs

On the TP-Link Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter I got 8Mb/s

 

I was going to buy the new router and new pci card so I can have dual band ac connection

test the N300 right next to the router

I wont be using my pc right next to the router, so I don't see the point in doing that. I was on LAN when I setup the pc but that's the only time I planned to be on it

I can't really take my pc to my router and set it up right now, but on my old prebuilt PC I was able to get 25mb/s on the installed adapter from my room (where I use my pc)

Any recommended powerline adapters?

 

Is it really better to get a powerline then to upgrade my router? Would I have to use direct connections with them and no extenstion cables?

It depends on the wiring in your house whether it will work better or not, id say its worth a try.
