Additionally, many of us dread cracking open our desktop for a Wireless Card update when we might not currently need it.<\/p>\n<p>What Rosewill offers is an awesome little WiFi card. It isn\u2019t as fast as the highest quality WiFi solutions but can plug and play in a variety of setups.<\/p>\n<p>That also makes it perfect for unique setups like an office that might need Wifi occasionally with different machines while running off of a hotspot.<\/p>\n<p>The flexibility of the Rosewill is awesome and it is freaking tiny.<\/p>\n<p>That means it is perfect to <strong>store away in a backpack or laptop case<\/strong> and pull out to help people at the office. When I worked in IT, I used these when repairing PCs.<\/p>\n<p>It made it so much easier to pull a desktop computer out and get WiFi without needing to crawl back under a desk or wrap hundreds of RJ45 cables around the office.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t the most powerful but realistically things like gaming don\u2019t take as much bandwidth as people think (They design them not to suck a ton of bandwidth) so 300Mbps is fine for light activities.<\/p>\n<p>Where it starts to slog is downloading that 200GB Rockstar game that just came out.<\/p>\n<p>If you do need more speed though, a couple of stronger versions exist as well! They generally cost a bit more but go as high as 1200Mbps bringing you a powerful mobile option.<\/p>\n<p>They do get larger in size though so be aware it might not be a ton of fun for a laptop setup.<\/p>\n<h3>Pro:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Incredible ease of use<\/li>\n<li><em>No antennas or size problems<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Portable and can be used for more than just getting good desktop internet<\/li>\n<li>Really affordable and convenient to keep on hand<\/li>\n<li>Hotspot ability allows the sharing of internet with other devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Con:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Not the strongest speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"3_Asus_PCE-AC88\">3.

One downside is for the price you should get Bluetooth but do not.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t care about Bluetooth (it is a niche technology) then this will do just fine and scratch that itch for face-melting internet service.<\/p>\n<h3>Pro:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Blazing fast speeds<\/em> (2100Mbps @ 5GHz and 1000Mbps @ 2.4 GHz)<\/li>\n<li>Supports MU-MIMO for seamless use between devices and routers<\/li>\n<li>Flexible antenna setup allows for attaching directly to the PCIe card<\/li>\n<li>Pretty sick design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Con:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pricey<\/li>\n<li>No Bluetooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"4_Fenvi_AX200\">4.

Many love it, many loathe it.<\/p>\n<p>Regardles Fenvi has been known to try and make right with issues and can be contacted fairly easily.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a risk free option though, I suggest the \u2153 speed but similar priced TP Link option.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s <em>reliable and a workhorse<\/em> but it doesn\u2019t have that raw horse power this model has.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to realize with wireless cards is that while they are powerful, they\u2019re still subject to the same interruptions that poor materials or distance can create for different signals.<\/p>\n<p>That means it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019ve put your Router in a good location and have considered what materials are between it and you.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the 2.4GHZ band is prone to interference but does go further so you can use that if you have a router that is very far away and fewer devices.<\/p>\n<p>Those near the router should always stick to 5GHz as it offers far greater speed (Especially with the Fenvi AX200)<\/p>\n<h3>Pro:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Extremely fast 5GHz band at 2400Mbps<\/li>\n<li>Very affordable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Con:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some obvious compatibility problems<\/li>\n<li>Seems too good to be true which is why the 2.4GHz line is so slow<\/li>\n<li>How do I use these wireless cards the best?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Wireless networking is such a great upgrade to any system, especially a desktop. It makes where you place your office a lot more convenient and helps eliminate unsightly RJ45 cords.<\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t really too much of a difference in speed as well if you get a nice PCIe card. Stability and speed in today\u2019s cards is just amazing compared to those a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Our list has options for the mobile such as our USB option, and for those who want the Ferrari of PCIe cards like the Asus option.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, we think going wireless is just a great investment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 2020 and you never know how much space it\u2019ll free up when your desk doesn\u2019t have to be physically near the router.<\/p>\n<p>As always we appreciate you reading our guides and hope to see you again!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my roundup review of best PCIe WiFi cards in 2022.
