Connecting to Internet via ethernet won't be possible in my new house. WiFi connection is 28.96 mbps down and 10.29 mbps up.

Will it be okay for gaming?

Any recommendations for WiFi card that won't suck?

Alternatively I found this but not sure if it would be good: https://youtu.be/u46Y57-xS1Q

My specs:
i7 4790k
GTX 980
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI
16 GB RAM
250 GB ssd
5 TB hdd

Please advise. Thanks.

is it megabit or megabyte a second. If megabyte(MB) your in great shape. if megabit(Mb) I would reccomend a new card because Mb is 1/8 of MB. Keep in mind these protocols when shopping around

802.11b - 11 Mbps (2.4GHz)
802.11a - 54 Mbps (5 GHz)
802.11g - 54 Mbps (2.4GHz)
802.11n - 600 Mbps (2.4GHz and 5 GHz) - 150Mbps typical for network adapters, 300Mbps, 450Mbps, and 600Mbps speeds when bonding channels with some routers
802.11ac - 1300+Mbps (5 GHz) - newer standard that uses wider channels, QAM and spatial streams for higher throughput

I would recommend

I never have had experience of AC...

I never have had experience of AC to ethernet adapters but I have heard great things!
