I managed to blag the best router from Virgin. During the installation the engineer and me had a good chat and I gifted him a few products from my business. He said that he had a new Hub 5 in the van and said he would let me have it if I agreed to "refuse the install, due to inferior equipment being installed, unless I got the hub I wanted"

Naturally I agreed and he installed the Hub 5 router for me. It's got wifi 6 and I'd like to be able to utilise it in my office on my PC via some sort of dongle/pcie card.

My query is that I'm unsure what dongle to get for my PC that will be good enough to catch the signal. Office is directly above the livingroom where the hub is and it's not a brick interior house.

Would my motherboard be an issue with trying to get wifi 6, if I use a dongle/PCIe card? MOBO in my sig

What dongle or pcie card should I get then, to let me get full wifi 6 speeds? Any recommendations?

A while back I was in the same situation, I got one of these, seemed like cheap chinese tat but it does work, speedy Wi-Fi.
Speed: 866 Mbps, my net is 500 so it maxes that, no more latency than the ethernet I had before.

Ubit WiFi Card, AX/AC WiFi 6e Card Dual Band 5400 Mbps AX210N PCIE Bluetooth WLAN Network WiFi Card with Bluetooth 5.2 | MU-MIMO| OFDMA| Ultra-Low Latency, Support WIN 10/11

It was a while ago, so I reckon you should be able to find something better today.
