Wifi cards that work for an ASUSB85M-E motherboard

[alexanderha2]

Hey guys I am moving into an apartment with the modem on the other side of the apartment. I have been recommended to get an internal wifi card. Would my B85M-E motherboard work with most internal wifi adapter cards?
Like this one? https://www.pccasegear.com/products/40809/msi-herald-ac-intel-ac-8265-wifi-card/

Thanks in advance!

I don't think your board as a slot for one of those cards. Try a USB solution, it should work just fine.

it does have a PCI-E x1 slot but if you have a GPU that takes up 2 slots then you will not be able to get to it especially since its a micro-ATX board where spacing between components is tight. you are better off getting a USB one

Yeah, if your not using a dual or triple slot card and you have access to the 1x slot go for a good pci - e solution, it will usually be faster but over USB 3.0 its pretty much an even match
