Which WiFi Card Should I Choose: Older with Antennas or Newer Without?
Asked by

Hey folks! I'm looking for some advice on choosing a WiFi card for my PC. I've found two options that seem to match my needs. The first is the TP-Link Archer TX3000E, which features WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. It's a PCIe card that comes with antennas and I think a 1-meter extender cable. The second option is the Intel AX210, which uses an M.2 slot and boasts WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4. My setup is a bit far from the router, so I'm wondering if I should go for the older card with antennas or the newer technology without them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend going with the older card that has antennas. They can really help boost your signal strength, especially since your PC is far from the router.

Definitely opt for a card with antennas. You could even get an M.2 Intel AX210 kit that includes antennas. Honestly, I would choose a PCIe card with an Intel AX210 chip over the TP-Link option. Just check if your motherboard has an M.2 E-Key slot, that way you can get good performance and better range.
