Yes mateSo are you on about a USB based adapter as opposed to an internal PCI card ?
how are you satisfied with it?ended up going with the Archer T3U plus, 486 download, 99 upload, not bad.
Asus AC58 is 30 euros at my local shop and I dont want to spend more on wifi adapter, can you explain why you recommend it? Is it only specification based or reliability/ driver support/ personal experience?As much as you don't want anything "sitting on top of the tower", for best performance you are better off with a Wifi Adapter that does have separate antenna that can be relocated away from the back of the PC, just so that the antenna have more space and are removed from some of the interference caused by a PC.
Avoid the small plug in USB adapters at the very least, as the antennas are tiny - but PCIe adapters are normally better, as don't run the risk of overheating in a cramped USB form factor, and normally have 2 antenna.
If you definitely won't go for PCIe then the Asus USB linked below is at least a decent compromise, it has 2 antenna, is a decent form factor and comes with a USB Cable so you can position it.
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x TP-Link Archer TX3000E Dual-Band Wireless AX3000 (WiFi 6) Bluetooth 5.0 PCI-E Adapter (SKU: NW-21U-TP) = £59.99
- 1 x Asus PCE-BE92BT Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) BE9400 Tri-Band PCIe Wi-Fi Adapter (SKU: NET-ASU-02365) = £84.99
- 1 x Asus USB-AC58 Wireless-AC1300 Dual-band USB Adapter (SKU: NET-ASU-02265) = £29.99
Total: £178.97 (includes delivery: £3.99)
UPDATE: it turns out I made the stupidest mistakehow are you satisfied with it?
I just stumbled upon this post while researching about ASUS AC58 because I am fed up with my T3U plus (V1.0 bought in January 2023) as it is losing connection all the time (either it fully disconnects or says connected and good signal but no internet connection - or for example it completes Speedtest download and then disconnects on upload test)
