Recomendation for pci-e wifi adapter

[Mytre]

Hello, I have been using this pce n53 from asus for a while, but lately it barely reaches 73mbps on my wifi network, my download speed is about 250Mbps, my router is a netgear ac3200 r8000. It supports AC wifi, I want to upgrade my wifi card to a btter one that also doesnt overheats as my gaming pc serves as a media server when not being used. Wired is not an option and the wiring in my house, even though its new I cant use a powerline adapter (beats me why , but Maybe because there seems to be 2 main breakers on the house ?) .

 

My first idea was the ac56, but no idea if someone can tell me their download speed on a 200mbps+ network on their house.

the ASUS PCE-AC56 does 1.3gbp/s 
i know a guy with the: Asus PCE-AC68 and he gets really good speeds, at a long distance from his router, so yeah the ac56 should do just fine.

Good luck getting good speeds on the Netgear R8000.

 

I originally had an ASUS AC87U which died and i replaced it with a Netgear R8000.  From the outset i had a drop in wireless performance over my network by 10% and i tried 2 adapters, a TP link internal and a Netgear USB both of which worked perfectly with the before mentioned ASUS router.  I had the netgear for 10 months and ended up putting a hammer through it which was the best thing i ever did to put it out of its misery.  I now have an ASUS AC86U and i'm back up and running perfectly after 10 months of hell.

my router does give up the most of the speed on the N band. my main issue is that it gets kinda hot after 1 week or more of uptime but I blame that on directv, the directv boxes reserve 10 i.ps each day, and they dont delete the old entry so the netgear router shows between 20 and -100 devices connected (yes with a minus before), I called directv about this and they tell me that the main box just reserves i.p for the other boxes because it acts like a w ifi hotspot , and then gives those o.ps to the router we have. Never get directv btw, everything but live tv actually uses internet .

 

 

My router is now a year old almost and so far no issues besides that one which can be fixed easily by a time reboot once a week. However the netgear modem is starting to cuct speed by half after 2 weeks
