    I want to upgrade by wifi adapter. I am not sure which one to buy. I only have a n band router as of now. Which one do you think is the best? Is there a comparison anywhere?

    Thanks and Regards

    What laptop do you have? What is your current WiFi adapter and how many antennas that are attached to the card?

    Thanks. I was thinking about upgrading my old laptop Dell xps l502x. I did upgrade to 6300. It already had 3 antennas.

    I am not sure in which order to install the antenna. Would be grateful if anyone can help.

    I wanted to get an AC card but 5Ghz doesn't reach the whole of my house. There are huge walls. So only 20Mhz reach properly.

    If the card is dual band (like Intel AC 7260) you'd be able to use 2.4GHz then, say if you moved closer to the router later, you could use 5GHz.
