What the thread title says. Currently I'm using the TP-Link WDN4800 and I think it's causing intermittent bandwidth loss\issues with other devices within vicinity of the pc. I'd prefer something that's faster than the 450 Mbps my current card offers through the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands.

    Personally, I'd just get an m.2 to PCIe adapter and then you can use whatever m.2 wifi card you want. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sourcingbay-NGFF-Wireless-Card-Adapter/dp/B013U4401W
     
    AC capable cards can be had for ~$20, e.g.: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-8265AC-8265NGW-Bluetooth-Wireless/dp/B0721MLM8B/
     
    Cheaper than a dedicated card and you can upgrade to newer chipsets quite easily. Plus in my experience driver support/updates are usually terrible for dedicated cards.
