The choices are USB Wifi device or one that plugs into my PCE? I will be using a hotspot at very close range and rely on the fastest latency possible for gaming. Any suggestions?
PCIe will have lower overhead than USB since USB is an extra layer of interface hardware on top of PCIe. If you have an available PCIe x1 slot, I would recommend a card. A dual band AC card like an AC1200 or AC1900 Something like this -- https://www.newegg.com/asus-pce-ac55bt-b1-pci-express/p/N82E16833320333 The antennas are on coax to allow them to not be hidden by your case.
