WiFi PCIe card sharing data unpredictably
I possess an outdated WiFi chip that’s been acting up lately. I’m considering a replacement but aren’t sure whether to opt for a m.2, PCIe 3 or 4 card. I thought I’d check if there’s any chance to repair it first. My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550M K, the processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, memory is 16GB DDR4 at 2400 MT/s, the SSD is a PNY CS900 1TB HDD, the GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 550, the power supply is 600 Watts, and the WiFi card link is provided. Operating system is Windows 11 Home; I’m planning to purchase this card now. Thanks for your assistance!
are you using windows or linux? since certain linux setups have a bothersome feature that turns off USB/external wifi adapters for power saving, it might point to a hardware problem—especially with older devices and unknown brands. if you don’t need high speeds, you could check aliexpress for compatible pcie wifi adapters.
Suggest a standard PCIe card design, which fits onto the backplate for simple screw-on aerial connections. M.2 WiFi modules usually have tricky, fragile cables for attaching antennas.
