I initially bought the PCE-AC68 network adapter for my build trusting pc part picker stating all my parts were compatible but i come to learn that there are no PCI-E slots on my motherboard. Admittedly, this is something I should have noticed or checked but I didn't. Thus, i come to my question what wireless adapter is relatively equivalent to the PCE-AC68 in features and quality that is suitable for my pc?

I would prefer not to have an usb dongle though if there is a really good one i will consider it and a Wi Fi extender/powerline adapter or something similar would be great if it can plug into my pc through ethernet and keep a wireless network throughout the house.

You wrote, "there are no PCI-E slots on my motherboard". That is not true. There are seven PCI express 3.0/2.0 x16 slots on the motherboard.

You can put a PCI expess x 1 card in a PCI express x 16 slot.

I meant to write X1 slot. Though, thankyou for informing me it will work in a x16 slot. I did read on some other form that it wasn't possible to do that.
