How Good Is The Built In WiFi?

[TheMrMunch]

Whats the built in WiFi for the STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard like? Is it rock solid? What connections can I expect from it?

The built in WIFI's are usually decent , but I have had better stability with Cards and USB adapters.

"rock solid" and WiFi dont belong in the same sentence.

WiFi is very environmental between how good your router is, what kind of walls/obstructions you have, what level of interferece you have from other 2.4ghz devices in your room or from neighbors.

Typically the built in wireless chips are not in any way bad but the biggest issue is that they usually just have antennas that sit behind your tower. The better option is to have the antenna above your desk to have as few of obsticles as possible.
The best option is not using wifi at all and instaed using hardwired ethernet cable or even a powelrine network adapter.

The motherbaords spec sheet will provide you with the theoretical max speeds of the hardware.

Outside of that no one can tell you anything concrete because for 2) you did not even list what router you have, and for 2) we have zero idea how far you are from router or what environmental variables you have to decrease signal. Thus even someone with the exact same board/wifi chip could not tell you what speeds you will get.

I get 60-80 megabytes download per second. Would it accomidate those speeds? If not what would better accommodate that?

Well you have yet to answer the first most important factor, what is your router? If it is n150 or less then it cant handle 80 megabits (your ISP download speed is measured in megabits not megabytes) even if your computer was 3 ft away from it.
