I don't have the luxury right now of running an ethernet cable to my computer. My computer is running Windows 10 64-bit built for gaming, so it's plenty fast. I've tried a couple USB wi-fi adapters. The first one was a cheap Asus nano charger and was slow and unreliable, so I exchanged it for an Asus USB-AC68, and the new one is quite fast, but it's unreliable and caused frequent computer crashes when it was plugged in to USB. For both, I had to repeatedly attempt to connect until it actually connected, and would frequently lose connection. The wi-fi router has a strong signal, and my phone works perfectly stable on wi-fi from anywhere in the house.
Are PCIe wi-fi adapters much more stable? I was happy with the speeds of the Asus USB-AC68, but not thrilled with the computer crashes or connection drops, and I'm getting tired of having to reach for my cellphone just to get on wi-fi. Are there any suggestions for wi-fi adapters?
The major computer store out here has a very limited selection. There was an Asus PCIe card with an extention cable and 4-antenna magnetic base, but it costs a lot and I've had bad experiences with the Asus USB adapters. Since the selection is limited, would I be better of just getting a $20 TP-Link PCIe wi-fi card?
