So I just bought my PC yesterday. Thanks again! I just notice my network card doesn't support 5GHz. Are all network cards the same or is there a specific brand or something?

What wireless card r u using? You need to check if your cards support N or AC wireless usually this 2 types support 5ghz wireless

Bought PCEN15. Yes, it's capable.

I also notice it's the network card's problem. Because yesterday the guy asks if I want the USB one or the adapter one. I forgotten about the 5GHz in my router. So by default he gave me the 2.4 only. So I'm checking here if there's a 'good' 5GHz adapter card. lol.. I only slept for 4 hours so cannot think straight that time. haha

so right now u want a adapter? maybe u can consider AC56 PCI-E

i also use my computer for networking, like facebook and social media

Yup. lols. Thanks. Is there any difference between a 2 antenna and a 3 antenna?

just better signals and more stream for connections.

I see.. Ok, thanks again man. Going to buy it later.

I use an RT-N56U (tx / rx power 80%) and TP Link T6E AC 1200. I don't know the limits of this broadcom based NIC but it gives me 60+dBm signal at 10M away on 802.11A 5GHz (not AC). It sits at 180/200Mbps up/down approximately. Should be capable of more at AC. Should be router bottleneck at the moment.

Very stable and consistent thruput, its almost a flat bar on speedtest shooting up to its max instantly (but need to download reference drivers from broadcom at station-drivers (custom tplink drivers throughput fluctuates a lot, got from video pro at around $38-40 qoo10 coupon.

I can remove its black heat sink to turn it into a true 1 slot PCIe card, it still runs cool at room temperature.

But I think my average signals are a result of average NIC antennas + average router with internal antennas.

Edit: $42.
