Best wifi card /g/? Ethernet is not an option due to where my router is located.
Is this ASUS card a meme? It triggers my autism and I want it in my red and black build.

I use a USB wifi adapter, I like the flexibility and I can use an extension cable to place it high so it get's the best reception.

Edimax AC1200 is pretty gud for the price. I had a TP Link but the driver support is horrendous.

>>55255256
i own that card if its the PCE-AC56

have used it for about a year, its expensive but it has been solid, 0 issues with it compared to my old 20€ tp-link card which kept disconnecting randomly a lot

I bought this, it handles my 200mbit connection no problem, it can do even faster

Sounds like a lazy uneducated excuse. Learn how to run cable.

Move the router.

I purchased this and i have to say it is incredibly fast. Like, faster than my direct ethernet connection downstairs

Do you really need a fucking thread for something you could spend 2 seconds searching on amazon for and buying whatevers got 4/5 stars
fuck me

The Asus cards are great. Especially the PC-68 one with better antennas on the mount.

It has a small choke on the back side of the board that protrodes quite a bit, and will sit into the fans on secondary graphics cards if they're dual-slot. E.g 290x TRI-X

Using some $20 USB Panda Wireless adaptor thing now with a better antenna. Works just fine with no speed lost.

Only one coax in my house works and it's downstairs. Fuck Comcast.
>>
>>55256147
Neither do you clearly
Wireless cards aren't subjective to opinion, you get one that fits your pc, has speed to accomodate for your net speed and check if it even works by review, no tech knowledge required

Only people you've got replying here are normalfags that, like you, know fuck all about tech and are looking for something they can talk about cause it's so novice to get some e-points

I have EW-7612PIN V2 Edimax Wireless 802.11b/g/n 300Mbps PCIe low profile and am happy with it.

Yeah whatever you do, theres one rule for pci Wi-Fi cards
DO NOT BUY TP-LINK
a friend of mine has a $15 pci card and it just werks
>>
>>55255256
I own this card and can say that it started giving me problems with packet loss after about a year of usage. It still works okay for basic surfing but be prepared to drop connection once an hour or so. Also it became unsuitable for gaming after a while, if that is important to you, due to increasing packet loss.

I switched to powerline and have had much better luck.
>>
Use a powerline adapter anon

>>55255369
This.

It's absolutely amazing.

I have a pretty rough setup, and tried 2 other 'good' wireless cards before this, and they both sucked.
>>
>>55255256
I have the one tier higher one with three antennas instead of two, I get 2/3rds bars when my Ipad gets 3/3rds in the same spcae
>>
>>55255256
I have it in my desktop right now OP and its great. Way better than the built in one on my mobo (asus rampage iv nigger edition)
>>
>>55255256
I own a similar Card, also Aus, but with 3 antennas + some extension-thingie. It depends in your Router. In my case the Router/AP was offen the limiting factor. Now I'm back to cable, which is just plain better. Also did you consider D-Lan?

first day here, anon?

I used to have a high end PCI-E wireless card, but it touched the backplate of my GPU.

I went with a USB replacement and it's just as good, I've got a 100Mbps internet connect and it works just fine on the USB adapter.

Ping is constant 1ms at 5GHz, on the PCI-E, it was <1ms. Is this some sort of polling rate limitation? Not that it's noticeable.
