against you.<\/p>\n<p>The Ethernet cable is too short, or the Wi-Fi connection just barely doesn't reach, or maybe your PC doesn't have a powerful enough Wi-Fi receiver to reach your connection, or maybe it doesn't have a Wi-Fi receiver at all.<\/p>\n<p>These aren't issues that are too hard to solve, but that doesn't mean they aren't annoying.<\/p>\n<p>You can get a longer Ethernet cable or move your router to fix the first two issues, but what about the last two?<\/p>\n<p>The obvious solution is to get a Wi-Fi adapter, but what kind?<\/p>\n<p>And that's the question I'll answer in this

PC, meaning you have to be able or <em>want<\/em> to open up your PC) as opposed to USB Wi-Fi adapters being an <em>external<\/em> component (you plug it into a USB slot <em>outside<\/em> your

href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/is-building-a-pc-hard\/\">PC technical proficiency<\/a>, it's really not that hard to install and use a PCIe Wi-Fi adapter.<\/p>\n<p>But it can't be denied that most USB Wi-Fi adapters are practically fool-proof because they're literally plug and play\u2014no need to fuss with opening up your PC or installing drivers\u2014and you can use it on practically any PC device with a USB slot (Laptop, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>There's also the fact that you might not have a PCIe slot available for your PCIe Wi-Fi adapter.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe your <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/gpu-clearance-explained\/\">PCIe slots are covered by your GPU<\/a>, or you simply don't have enough left because of <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/best-m-2-pcie-adapters-for-nvme-ssds\/\">other PCIe components<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, you almost always have a USB slot or two available.<\/p>\n<h3><span

picture of PCIe Wi-Fi adapters, but <em>this <\/em>is the competition where PCIe Wi-Fi adapters take the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Performance<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In a head-to-head test, most PCIe Wi-Fi adapters are <em>much<\/em> faster than their USB counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>PCIe Wi-Fi adapters might be bulky and more involved than USB Wi-Fi adapters initially, but their bulk helps them out in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Their large + multiple antennas are much, much better than USB Wi-Fi adapters at getting a Wi-Fi signal and holding it without having connection dropouts.<\/p>\n<p>There are certain areas where USB might match speeds with PCIe Wi-Fi adapters, but that's generally when they have a direct line of sight with the router and have a great connection.<\/p>\n<p>Even then, some USB Wi-Fi adapters can have a 5 - 15% loss in performance compared to an equal PCIe Wi-Fi adapter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benchmarks\"><\/span>Benchmarks<span
