You might consider purchasing a USB 3 adapter such as the one with four ports shown here. Replace your outdated Wi-Fi adapter with a USB Wi-Fi dongle that supports AC protocol (offering the best speed and range) and BT compatibility like this one. This would give you three additional 5Gbps USB 3 ports and an upgraded Wi-Fi connection. P.S. For your Wi-Fi to count as upgraded, your router should also support AC protocol. It would still be beneficial since you can place it outside the box—just keep in mind the cable length is the main limitation. It’s compact, discreet, and adheres to surfaces (the picture doesn’t show it).
I just purchased the Wi-Fi card today, man—it's wild! I keep seeing older models without 2.0, either buy the card or upgrade your whole setup.
