Go to solution Solved by flibberdipper,

There's nothing wrong with it, and all things considered it's not a bad card. I'm personally a fan of these bad lads because the antenna is fantastic (same signal strength as the annoying ones that stick out but you can move it wherever) and if you feel the need to upgrade the chip along the way, you totally can. And being able to have an internal USB port (if you plug in the "extension") can be kinda handy.

In general, WiFi is not great for gaming. If it's possible, you should get an Ethernet cable to your PC by routing something to whatever room your PC is in.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That would be hard if the router is in the basement 2 floors down.

Router in the basement would make WiFi gaming awful, if not impossible. Maybe a relay while be a worthwhile investment.

if anything you would have a better chance getting a reliable ethernet connection rather than a wifi connection with that sort of distance and stuff

Sadness is the one true emotion, and happiness, well, that's just a lie, sadness is all many of us feel, and is all we need to feel, because having it any other way, would just be wrong, why be happy when you can just be miserable like myself.
