Wireless adapter

50Twuncle

The built in wireless adapter in my desktop has given up the ghost
I am looking at both USB and PCIe connected ones
My fibre router connects at 70Mbps

What is my best option for a good Hi Speed connection - brand ?
Is there any real advantage in getting a USB3 adapter ?

Built-in Wireless in a desktop computer? What model?
I prefer internal adaptors, they normally have bigger antennas and it's also less likely that you break them.
To get 70Mbps or more you need to look at MIMO 2x2 at least (you get 2 simultaneous streams).
What access point you have (or what router if it is all in one)?

It looks like it's a 3x3 MIMO, so if you buy any adaptor 2x2 or 3x3 you should be fine with the broadband speeds.
Remember that 2.4Ghz offers you more coverage but less speed, compared to 5Ghz. Nevertheless, both will cover your speed requirement.
