For fixing a clevo notebook I have 3 options of choosing a wireless.
-N 7260 single band 2.4GHZ 300mbps
-Dual band wireless N7260 2.4ghz-5ghz 300mps-867mps
-Bigfoot killer wireless N1202.
I dont game online but I do watch HD clips and download movies. Would the first option be enough for me?

Definitely not a single band 7260. The choice between the remaining two depends on your router. If you have a dual band router and/or plan on buying a 802.11ac router you can go for Dual band wireless N7260 however this card does not work very well on 2.4GHz band so if you have a single band router or you will be using your notebook at different locations outside your house (where 2.4GHz band is the most popular), Killer would be a safer choice.

Dual Band Wireless- N 7260 would be useless with an AC router, as it only supports speeds up to 802.11n(2T2R) = 300Mbit/s. It's the Dual Band Wireless- AC 7260 the OP should go for, if he plans to buy an AC router and it's THIS one, which doesn't work very well on 2.4GHz band, right?

PS.
I have a Clevo laptop, I used to have Advanced-N 6235 in it and upgraded it to Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. Both cards perform and behave exactly the same on 2.4GHz band in the same location (my desk). I have the 6235 installed in my second notebook so it's easy for me to compare. Both systems running latest WHQL drivers. -
I assumed that was a typo on their part seeing as it is said "Dual band wireless N7260 2.4ghz-5ghz 300mps-867mps" with 867 at the end suggesting it's an AC card after all, but you are right - this needs clarification.
Need advice about wireless card for Clevo
