WIFI Help
I'm setting up my brother's PC without an Ethernet connection, so he's relying on Wi-Fi. He wants to play games on this machine and needs a WiFi card or adapter. I've been checking the TP-Link AC1300, but after reading some 2015 reviews, I'm not sure if it's still relevant now. I also saw a discussion about Intel's AX200, but the Amazon listing mentions it only works with Intel CPUs—my brother uses AMD. Could anyone help? Any suggestions for something around $40 would be great!
Your AMD processor on both your laptop and desktop paired with AX200 Intel cards might want to reconsider that idea. Remember, if your router isn’t AX compatible, you won’t gain much advantage over a standard AC card, but if you manage to find one at a low price it won’t cost you anything.
Check your router's documentation or settings for AX status indicators. Look for lights, menus, or labels that confirm it supports AX technology.
Search for the router model online to identify its WiFi standard and choose the right equipment. Previous TP Link adapters performed reliably, while Asus offers quality options. You might want a PCIe card with adjustable antenna placement for better signal strength. Some adapters let you connect the antenna via wires instead of directly on the back, allowing optimal positioning.
