Hi, my new motherboard (Adorus Z390 Xtreme) has a built in wifi adapter with the following specifications:
  • Intel® CNVi interface 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, supporting 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band
  • BLUETOOTH 5
  • Support for 11ac 160 MHz wireless standard and up to 1.73 Gbps data rate
It came with two antennas.

Is it faster and better than the TP-Link 1300Mbps Dual Band USB3.0 Wireless Wi-Fi Network Adapter, Archer T4U V2 US Version?

Intel adapter has better specs, plus a proper add in card is usually better than a USB adapter. Plus it doesn't cost you anything.

Thanks. I bought the USB adapter because my former WS Z390 Pro had no wifi and no BT.
