Hello everyone, hopefully this is the correct place to post this, I just ordered a brand new PC the germanium & when choosing the wifi option I picked the

TP LINK AC1300 Wirelss Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (Archer T6E)

Will this card be ok for home Wifi ? I read online that it has problems with windows 10 home which I ordered with the PC I just thought because it was the most expensive option £10 difference then the cheapest that it would do the job.

Should I of picked

ASUS PCE-AC56 Dual-Band Wireless AC1300 PCI-E Adapter (90IG00K0-BM0000)

My Order has not shipped yet so am grateful for any feedback incase need to change my order, sorry that I don't know how to link items on this forum yet

If you search you'll find people having problems with both of them. Check the age of the posts you're reading as many Windows 10 issues have been fixed (and some new ones added).

If you're buying it in a built system then it'll be OcUK's problem if it doesn't work. I doubt they'd deliberately give you the option of selecting a card that's going to give them support issues.

I wouldn't use wireless for a desktop unless there was no other option. If there's any possibility of running a cable that'd be a better option.

True , well I have paid the extra to have it custom built so am sure OC will do a good job , the wifi hard drives & extra ram should be running perfectly with windows 10 ready to install games etc fingers crossed , I don't have the option to use a cable at the moment because I live in 150yr old house with massive solid walls & as it came with Wifi already on this PC am using now , I would have to ask permission before I started drilling holes to get a cable into my room, the walls are like 10inchs thick of pure concrete

Don’t drill the walls, drill the bottom of the door frame. Run the wire along the skirting board or the edge of the carpet and then through the door frame. It only makes a 6mm hole which is very easy to fill if you leave. Or run the cable outside and drill the window frame.
