If you are not doing latency sensitive stuff, it is ok.

Forget about USB adapters, they tend to run hot and somewhat unreliable (I used to have a TP-Link T9UH)

If you have a desktop or laptops with swappable WiFi cards you're much better off getting something like an Intel AX210 based PCIe card instead

Basically, how far your computer away from the router? If you're lucky, you getting WiFi router and you need atleast a WiFi adapter that support 5Ghz and you be able to get your normal internet speed test running about 700 Mbps. But if you prefer to use it for gaming, you would need to expecting higher latency compare to cable unless you are using WiFi 6 router with WiFi 6 wireless adapter. And ofcoz PCIE-based WiFi 6 adapter is more consistent performance that USB type WiFi adapter.

wow... tqvm for the idea..nice

thanks..both...gaming, torrent and office use.. thanks for the info.. so far the computer distance from router is from small terrace living room to room at back.. by the way next year will move to another house and plan to make proper setup for wifi/router...

btw plan to setup proper lan to my house soon.. it is speed drop when we make LAN Socket..such example at 2 bedroom at upstairs and standard wifi router at downstair.. does anyone can suggest LAN setup for intermediate terrace house

You meant you pull cable from router downstairs to a LAN socket upstairs, the speed dropped? It cannot be. The speed should be the same as the port downstairs.

Having the same question ,borrow this thread

Which cheaper price wifi 6 pcie do you recommend ? Unifi 300mbps.
Budget around Rm70-90.
Need driver for backward compatibility windows 7.

Unfortunately there is no.

You need at least AX1800 (1.2Gbps @ 5GHz) to get that speed and I don't see there is WiFi chip that supports AX that also supports Windows 7.

Solutions:
- If you existing router can support 4x4 AC 5GHz, you could hunt for old AC adapter with 4x4 capabilities.
- Dump Windows 7. Get TP-Link TX20E with RM100.
- Get a router that works as a Media Bridge and connect to your machine via network cable. Highest cost, but best speed + works with Windows 7.

Pick your pill

The windows 7 is just additional question since it's useful for dual boot, it's good if support else will just fall back to old usb wifi on windows 7.
Using windows 10

Asking the same question , to get an AX1800 (1.2Gbps @ 5GHz) or above , cheapest is Get TP-Link TX20E RM100 ?
How about TP-LINK Archer TX55E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Intel AX210 where it's just rm15 extra ?

What are the actual speed + overhead interference signal around the house possible to get 32–36 MB/s ?

and this didn't sell in Malaysia
Intel PCIe Wi-Fi 6 | AX200 Dual-Band 802.11AX Wireless | Bluetooth 5.2 | Network WiFi Card but cheap rm90

AX200 alone is ~RM50 and the remaining cost goes to supporting parts, i.e. the antenna, PCB. AX200 is pretty much done for and AX210 is the later revision that adds 6GHz support & newer Bluetooth standard. The price is just slightly higher. AX210 can yield you 1Gbps+ speed provided you have a decent router.

If you can afford AX200 / AX210, just go ahead.

For up to RM 99 I think can get AX200 / AX210 with set. Qualcomm is pricier iinm and mediatek is just crap.

Can suggest which model again for AX200 and AX1800 ?

I bought BE200 kit from this seller. Seems legit Intel
