Posted November 6, 2018 Just wanted to get a general sense on what people's thoughts are on built-in wifi on motherboards these days. Have you had issues with Windows/Linux or specific programs? Using the wifi as a AP? -アパゾ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 6, 2018 Never use wifi if you want a fast and stable internet connection. But there's nothing wrong with a good quality motherboard that has built in wifi.

Posted November 6, 2018 WiFi just isnt as fast or stable as LAN, wouldn't use one on a desktop which doesnt have to move around. Of course having it as a feature doesn't hurt, just don't see myself using it.

Posted November 6, 2018 I use it to cast to my TV in another room since it was in every board I bought recently. Other than that, just in laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 6, 2018 I vote a triband (mesh) extender with an Ethernet port and LAN that way. You may need 1-2 extenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 6, 2018 I used to have an Asus Z-87 Pro and it worked perfectly, until now. I recently bought an ASUS ROG Maximus X Code. But the Wi-Fi network adapter does not let me make an AP. The Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter, according to Windows, is not compatible with my new wireless adapter. my girlfriend's laptop does not let create access point neither. I use the AP mode to share internet access. Nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
