Hi! For months I have been wanting to have wifi on my rig but the one that I have sucks for real (Range is short, not even suitable for browsing the web). So, I saw this https://www.ebay.com/itm/112470704703 and this https://www.ebay.com/itm/142086820752 . But will they have VERY long range? Because I need bigger range. Or the Converter  and a realtek card (Got out from Lenovo ideapad 100-15IBY). Thanks a lot, and I hope I get replies; unlike my troubleshooting rig thread ;-;.

What kind of range are you looking for? I would say WiFi is rated to about 100 feet, of course you might get more or less depending on the environment and band.

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Yeah. Like 80 to 120 feet is alright. If I get the 5300 I would get triple-antenna to get more range.

Go with the first one. The second one doesn't include the adapter card and I can't find a slot on your motherboard that can accept it natively.
