Top choice for strong dual-band Wi-Fi performance.
Top choice for strong dual-band Wi-Fi performance.
I recently used the Brostrend AC1 adapter which overheated, melted, and smelled like burnt plastic before it failed. I'm now searching for a replacement. I've found the TP Link Acher T9UH AC1200 for $80 and the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 for $90. Would anyone suggest a high-gain dual-band adapter?
My PC case is located under my desk, which means the PCI Express signal will be weaker. I’ve been using a USB adapter with a long cable and a mount for the Wi-Fi adapter, allowing me to place it higher on my desk or nearer to my modem.
USB gadgets often overheat and stop working. PCI Express units don’t. ASUS offers a PCI Express adapter with an antenna linked through a cable to the card. This lets you relocate it wherever required. USB WiFi isn’t great—it’s likely to remain so.
That sounds promising. I've used TP Link WiFi cards before and they performed well.
