Hey guys!

I'm contemplating on buying new hardware for networking. Recently my parents bought an Asus RT- AC66 or something like that and I was wondering if I should buy the PCIe- AC66 from Asus or just invest on a power line connection?

That's a great question, I'd just get wireless AC.

Here is a great resource.

 

It does matter where your computer is, how mobile do you want it, and how much are you willing to spend.
