Searching for a decent PCIe Wi-Fi card under 40€. We checked the ASUS PCE-AX1800 and PCE-AX3000 models. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

It varies based on the WiFi standard your router uses; opt for the highest supported version. Cards with antennas attached to the back might work less well if the router isn't placed in a room behind your PC.

I use Wi-Fi 6 but am located a distance away from the router.

I recommend opting for an affordable Intel AX200 or AX210 PCIe adapter. Look for an antenna on eBay from a premium motherboard, which can be mounted on top or in front of the PC to improve signal strength. Alternatively, consider using the included antennas and replace them if reception isn’t satisfactory. Branded cards with heatsinks are misleading—they’re just cosmetic additions without changing performance. I can’t guarantee results, but you might notice better connection by holding your phone near your PC. If your router supports WiFi 6 on the 2.4GHz band (not all do), using that frequency could give more reliable performance than older standards. My experience shows the AX210 tends to work slightly better than the AX200, though I only tested it near my network.

I'm pleased with my AX200 adapter (either from Gigabyte or Aorus, based on the packaging). Previously faced issues with other products.

Both are expected to work well. Unless you run your 5Ghz Wi-Fi at 160Mhz (which is usually not recommended), the AX1800 chip will match performance. Looking at the drivers, both rely on Intel Wi-Fi technology.
