[SOLVED] What would be a good WiFi PCI-e Adaptor for at least 200mbps down?

Hi, due to some lan issues with a B550 Motherboard from Gigabyte that uses a Realtek NIC I've decided to start looking for an adaptor so I can stop using lan for a while until the issue gets actually fixed (I've already sent this board to RMA but they simply said "the issue was fixed" with a BIOS update)

I need some recommendations in regards to what would be the best for me, right now I'll be connecting to a modem with 5G that is roughly 10-15 meters away (It'll be like this until I can run a cable to a router where I have my pc since I currently have a powerline that only provides between 50 to 80mbps) and has some walls in the way, my phone is capable of around 110mbps down with that distance so I wanted some adaptor that would give me similar if not better results.

So far I've looked into the Asus PCE-AC88 and its AC68 variant. I've also looked at TP-LINK Archer T6E. I'm a bit unsure which one would be the best for me, also I've seen some posts about people complaining about connectivity issues for all of them which doesn't help me in making a purchase either.

Any recommendations are much appreciated!

Good choices.

Don't put much weight on WiFi adapter user reviews. Do your research of course and buy from a reputable manufacturer. WiFi is indefinitely variable inasmuch that a large majority of negative user reviews can be dismissed for reasons beyond the responsibility of the adapter itself.

I would just upgrade your powerlines if you're not on the fastest ones. I get 130Mbps through mine and they're just 1200.

That's the issue, otherwise I'd just get the best powerline i could find

So just get a usb 3.0 wired adapter--they're cheap and should work great.
