Comparing WiFi motherboards and PCIE network adapters.
Hey there! It sounds like you're weighing options for your ASUS PCE-AC58BT. Since you already have a Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax adapter, the inboard WiFi option might be a good fit if it meets your needs. The PCIE x1 slot is still available on lower-tier boards, so you can choose based on performance and budget. Consider what features matter most for your setup before deciding.
I suggest trying the built-in Wi-Fi and you might be able to upgrade your old card for a lower cost compared to new one. You could earn some extra income while using it. What protocol does your router use? If it supports WiFi 5, you have options; WiFi 6 offers better performance but gives you more flexibility. With a WiFi 5 device, you won’t gain much advantage from the onboard 6.
You have Wi-Fi 6/6E and an Ethernet port—what options would you choose?
