HI I am building my own PC and the location of this PC will be in the basement. The router is in the living room on the 1st floor. I am just wondering which PCIE wifi adapter could provide decent stability and speed? Is ASUS PCE-AC55BT good for my situation?

For perspective, I have the pce-ac68 adapter installed in my system, and using a Linksys EA9500 router. Router is downstairs due to cable modem/jack location. PC is upstairs and opposite corner of house. My signal is 4 out of 5 bars. Note that the Asus drivers aren't very good. I was only able to connect at ~800 Mbps if I remember right. When I found Broadcom drivers and installed them I have been able to connect at 1300 Mbps since. Not bad since this is the AC1900 adapter. Yours should be slightly less but just some advice on drivers should you need it and want to maximize performance. Hope this helps.

Yes that will be good as its AC and as long as your router supports ac and the signal in good then your all good because other wise I would try to route an ethernet cable down or get one of those ethernet powerline adapters because wifi can have some latency.
