I have three choices for wireless card that for the laptop I am planning on buying, but I'm unsure on which one to buy. I do things like YouTube, online games, and browsing the internet Here are the options:

802.11b/g/n WLAN

802.11b/g/n 2x2 WLAN and Bluetooth®

802.11 AC WLAN and Bluetooth®

The router I have is Netgear WNR200 v3

Thanks!

If you need Bluetooth, the middle one.
Otherwise, the first one.

I'd go with the AC card since it gives forward compatability if you upgrade routers later.

Only if it also does b/g/n. Which may or may not be.
Can't tell from the stated description.

It does also do b/g/n, however I've heard that the ac card has less range, so I'm unsure if I'll even need it.

Think that's only less range in AC mode. N and G should behave as they would on s non-AC ROUTER.

Ya sorry I assumed it was also b/g/n. Never seen one that wasn't backward compatible but I bet they're out there.
