AC1300 vs AC1900 network cards?

Solution
I always like the ones with the antennas that can be extended to the top of the case because they get them away from the back of a metal box that block signals.

How much extra you will see going from a card that uses 2x2 vs 3x3 mimo is hard to say. It is greatly dependent on your house. Going from 1-2 overlapping signals tends to gain quite a lot but going from 2-3 gains some but not as much. You might get the 170m speed from the 2x2 card in the correct conditions and would not have to go to 3x3.

This tends to be impossible to guess how well it will work. It is mostly going to be a money thing. If you can afford the better card it will not hurt to buy it but how much it actually helps is not possible to reliably say.
