Hi everyone, I recently assembled a new PC with a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC featuring built-in Wi-Fi. It uses the Intel Wi-Fi AC 3168 module. I also have an ASUS USB-AC68 Wi-Fi card/dongle that supports AC1900 with 600 Mbps. According to the motherboard manual, the maximum speed is listed as 433 Mbps. Would this difference be noticeable? I suspect the USB card’s performance is limited by the available bandwidth on the board. I’ve seen some discussions online suggesting that built-in Wi-Fi might be more reliable. Which option would work best? Thanks!
