I've been looking for a Wi-Fi card for my PC and this one looks decent, but before purchasing, I wanted to know if anyone has any advice. I'm not very familiar with the details, but I'm using it for school projects, playing Minecraft, and streaming at high quality to YouTube.

Latency is significantly greater compared to using an Ethernet connection.

Unfortunately, your parents aren't allowing you to install an Ethernet cable on the router. Have you considered using a different connection method or exploring alternative solutions?

First, listen to what people say so they realize you've addressed their feedback. No, there are just two options for linking to the internet via your router: Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The Wi-Fi speed is acceptable, but the ping is higher and latency is worse compared to Ethernet. This isn't typical for third-party high-end routers such as ASUS models, though receiver quality still plays a role. For example, if you have a sports car that only goes 10 MPH, it doesn’t feel great. But I’d recommend using Ethernet. Making your parents see this is part of your work. However, with Wi-Fi you stay connected to the internet, and with Ethernet it’s similar. Still, I don’t understand why they’re not allowing you.

@Camoboy31 There is powerline too though not recommended if your broadband is DSL based and even then only if you fail to get decent service from WiFi. There is also MOCA if you happen to have COAX between the rooms already.

they refused it because they don’t want the cable running through the house, and they won’t allow me to make a tiny hole in the corner for it, which would block me from going around the floor or through it.
