[SOLVED] Should i buy a wifi usb adapter like the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus?

With my wifi-card, i keep getting ping spike and i 100% know that it is because of the wifi card. Should i buy a wifi usb adapter to avoid ping spike? HELP!!!

no, if you going to buy a WIFI card now, get a newer one.

get one marked one of these

• WIFI6
• AX
• AC2100

they will be more expensive but they will last longer

old cards use drivers that I have seen failing this year in windows so its best to avoid them

i can see people replacing the internal card but it seems to lack 5ghz - https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...closes-Replace-7260-Network-Adapter-with-9260

seems card in that laptop has a bad name for itself - link

i can't see any AX usb adapters, so you might have to use something like the one you asked about.

might aim at ac1300 maybe - https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Arch...s=802.11ax+usb+adapter&qid=1625479138&sr=8-18
