    Intel 7260ac, Killer 1103, or Killer 1202.

    Each has their strengths and setbacks. Just make sure you're getting a PCIe half mini card (HMC), not an m.2 card.

    That system won't take a Killer 1535 or Intel 8265?

    IIRC, the P377SM(A) uses the larger HMCs, while those two cards only come in the m.2 2260 and 1216 form factors. If there's an HMC version of either of those, they would be better.

    Form factor change so no.

    Intel 7260 is probably the one I've had the best luck with out of the available wireless cards for that model.

    Though my wife's card died a death for no reason it seems :p

    But I think we were just unlucky with that one :)
