[SOLVED] Gaming Desktop Wifi - best option?

[Biznut]

I know it’s not ideal, but I’ll be forced to use a wifi connection on my gaming desktop that’s shipping in.

I’m looking for the best option at this point, cost isn’t really a concern. The PC’s mobo comes with 802.11ax wireless functionality (ASUS ROG Strix X570-E), but is there something better I should be considering?

Primary use case is gaming. Router is Netgear Nighthawk AX12 (RAX120), on the same floor as the PC. Connection is Spectrum Gigabit.

Considerations:

1. use included internal mobo wifi
2. use PCI-E wifi adapter — Asus PCE-AC68
3. USB adapter?

Thanks in advance.

Use powerline or MoCA rather than WIFI, that would be my recommendation.

I just bought a Gigabyte X570 extreme motherboard. The inn board Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi 6 so it gets good speeds with my Wi-Fi 6 router from asus. I still hard wire through the gigabit E port, but with building it, I was issuing Wi-Fi for installs and updates. Really good speeds.
