Question 1

Wi-Fi Adapters are any good for gaming?

Accepted Answer

Many of the hard-core gamers will tell you that even the best Wi-Fi adapter is not the best adapter for gaming. However, that’s not necessarily true. You should consider some aspects when looking for the receiver that you are going to be using for gaming.

You should get a product that supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. Look for the best dual-band speeds. For example, an AC1200 USB wireless adapter will offer 300Mbps at 2.4GHz for general use and 867Mbps at 5GHz for gaming.

Question 2

Difference between 2.4GHz vs 5GHz.

Accepted Answer

These numbers refer to the network standard that your device is operating on. It depends on the range of your devices and speed/bandwidth of your internet plan.

As we move away from the source of the signal, we all know that the connection starts getting worse.

5GHz is the newer standard and provides much faster speeds, but the range isn’t as good. On the other hand, 2.4GHz provides a better range, but slower speed.

Question 3

Which one is a better, internal, or external adapter?

Accepted Answer

A PCIe Wi-Fi adapter card may take a whole PCIe slot. You should expect a lot more power and better speed with an internal card. However, internal cards are not mobile and you can take an external Wi-Fi adapter with you anywhere.
