WIFI Card recommendations?

[iiNNeX]

Hello guys,

 

I need a wifi card for my new build at work: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/iiNNeX/saved/FHv7hM

 

It needs to be fully Windows 10 compatible and within reasonable budget. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Basically any Wireless adapter is gonna be windows compatible; and Win10 is pretty good with backwards-compatibility.

 

I'd say just find a cheap-ish wireless adapter with Wifi AC (almost any revision of AC will do; 1200 seems like a good number but 600 should work great as well).

This is what my mom's Windows 10 machine has. Its dual band Wireless N. But It works. The only thing about it that iffy, TP Link doesnt do the drivers. You will have to rely on Microsoft drivers for it. BUT that hopefully means little to no issues with Windows 10.

There has been issues as of late with cards that stated to work, but dont. I think its a bug in the creators update. But Ive seen a number of people here and else where bitching about WiFi adapters that refuse to work with Windows 10.

That's exactly it, I was actually going to go with the one you suggested first, but running a quick google on it there are so many issues with Windows 10 drivers for most Wifi Cards (even up in the £100 range) that I am a bit sceptical to buy. It is needed for work and last thing I want is to deal with technical issues related to drivers.

 

I ll do a bit more searching and see what else I can find, but as with everything lately the frequent W10 updates are cancer imo.
