Onboard Wi-Fi or not?

[hinesy32]

Hi all,

When it comes to motherboards, is the onboard Wi-Fi offering better performance? I currently have an ASUS N600 Wi-Fi USB dongle which seems to be fairly reliable. Other than it being quite large and occupying a front USB port, I'm okay with it. There also doesn't seem to be much of a premium for onboard Wi-Fi.

I'm looking at B550 boards for an upcoming AMD build.

Thanks,
Col

Onboard Wi-Fi seems reliable but like anything theres always some failures , you should compare the spec of your dongle to the onboard.

Running onboard wif 6 here, it’s faster and more reliable than my old power line adapters.
