    I'm currently on the lookout for a new WiFi card to replace the INTEL 6300 i currently have.

    I have a AC router so seems logical to go for a card that can make most of all this extra range/transfer speeds.

    Only card i can find however is a new Intel card (7260) that's been out about a month. If anyone finds a supplier in the UK id be grateful if you could drop me a PM!


    Anyone running AC yet? What transfer speeds/PING improvements have you seen? :thumbsup:

    Haven't seen anybody around running those on the older revisions.

    I'm looking to swap mine for a 802.11 AC adapter eventually since I now have a router for it but I'm waiting for one that uses a 3x3 setup so I don't drop down my Wireless-N speeds. Currently the only ones out there are 300/867 and I'm waiting on a 450/1300 one. All the 300/867 ones use a 2x2 antenna configuration.
