So I've been having a situation with my wireless adapter. I had a rosewill RNX-N150PCe adapter, but just recently the speeds that ive been getting from it have been really slow. I figured it was dying out. So I had this Linksys usb adapter (AE2500) that I used to use a while back and I started using it in the mean time while I ordered my new PCI adapter. Everything was going fine with the USB adapter as far as speeds go ( I stopped using it because it losing connection frequently ).
Fast forward through shipping time.
I now have my new PCI adapter (its the ASUS PCE-AC56) and I have it installed. Had a little bit of trouble getting it to connect to the network but ended up getting everything working. The problem is, when I was using the USB adapter I was back up to my normal 20Mbps download speeds. But with this new PCI card im struggling to get 10Mbps and its inconsistent.
What I think has happened is I purchased an Adapter that is better than/incompatible with my router. My router is pretty old and outdated at this point and the max data rate is 54Mbps.
TL;DR: My Question is, Is it worth me buying a new router? If so, which router should I get?

Thanks in advanced for any replies, and if this is super simple to fix than sorry for the long thread. Dont know a lot about networking...
