Wireless card. Which one?

koolpc · 15 Nov 2018 at 00:28

I am after a cheap but efficient wireless card. Slots on the mobo i might be buying are:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16)
1x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4)
1x PCIe 2.0 x1

This one ok:

If you can live with Wireless-N it should be okay. Personally I'd be looking for something that supports Wireless-AC (not looked are wireless cards for a while so I couldn't say which one).

Wireless-AC...whats that?

bremen1874 · 15 Nov 2018 at 01:22

It's the wireless standard that replaced Wireless-N.

Google 'wireless-ac' or '802.11ac'.
