I am building a new computer soon, and one of the upgrades I was planning to make was getting off my USB wireless ac adapter - it is a Netgear A6200, and it works well...sometimes. I'm hoping to move to a less temperamental solution than USB adapters, and I was about to pull the trigger on wireless ac PCI-E card, but the reviews on the Intel and Asus cards seem to be almost as problematic. I did come across the wireless bridge option yesterday and wanted to ask if there is any gain in performance/stability going with something like the WD My Net AC bridge over a PCI-E card? I use my desktop for HD video streaming to the TV, moving large batches of files between computers, and a lot multiplayer gaming. What would be the best option when running a cable is not an option? After years of networking frustrations, I don't mind costly or awkward solutions.

UndyingShadow posted:DO NOT buy the My Net AC bridge. I had this, it had major stability and connection problems, and every time I had to add or remove a device, it would fail to connect until I completely reset the unit (and I don't mean a power reset, I mean, reset to factory and reconfigure it) I live in an apartment building, so as much as I would like to run a cable to my desktop, my hands are pretty much tied on that front. My computer is unfortunately also located in a room with no cable outlet, so I can't relocate the modem. SamDabbers posted:The powerline solutions seem to work well enough for most people. Grab a pair of the 500Mbps variety adapters. They're often on sale for $60-$75. How effective are powerline adapters in an apartment building? Would I run into issues when the neighbor uses a hair dryer etc.?
