Choosing the right Wifi card/antena for my PC

grieverInFlames · Jan 7, 2015

As per my last post: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2469283/asus-z97-motherboard-issue.html#14999951

and thanks to SR-71 Blackbird and pbm86 for their lightning quick response to my last question.

Now I face a new conundrum: which wifi device can I buy that will be compatible with my Asus Z97-AR motherboard? Many thanks in advance!

I do not buy internal wifi devices. They are too specialized and so the prices increase with equal hardware to external ones. I would just get a wireless AC usb dongle. I got one for $35 from TP-LINK that promises speeds over 1Gbps. You may want to get one with an attachable antenna so you can increase the gain if needed.

Can you send me a link to the dongle you bought so that I or any other with my same dilemma can have a good starting point? Many thanks in advance, my friend!

Despite the bad reviews, I got this:
http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Wireless-AC1200-Adapter-TEW-805UB/dp/B00BKFYJX8#customerReviews
I have a trendnet router so it works good for me.

I would reccomend this high gain model:
